The state CDBG program annually awards Public Services Grants to 17 non-entitlement counties throughout Washington State. These grants support partnerships with regional community action agencies that provide services to address the root causes of poverty, and help low-income families and individuals regain or retain self-sufficiency. 

Annual award amounts are formula-based on service area population and poverty rate. For the 2023 Public Services Grant program year (July 1,2023 – June 30, 2024), eligible counties will receive the 2023 CDBG Public Services Grant Amounts through a contract amendment as supplemental funding. 

Contact your CDBG contract manager to amend your Public Services Grant contract.
