Public Services Grants
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. Each year eligible counties receive invitation to apply in April with applications due at the end of May.
