Community Services Block Grant Makes Our Services Happen!
Stronger Communities Start Here
At West Central, our Community Services program is here to help families overcome challenges and move toward a brighter future. Funded primarily through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), we offer a wide range of support—emergency utility and energy assistance, food pantries, and so much more. We’d love to visit with you and help you find your path to self-sufficiency!
What Makes CSBG Different?
The Community Services Block Grant is the backbone of community action across Missouri. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, CSBG provides flexible funding that allows local agencies to design programs that meet the unique needs of their neighbors.
Here’s how it works:
Missouri has 19 Community Action Agencies (CAAs), each guided by a local board of directors that includes community leaders and people with low incomes.
CSBG funding acts as the foundation. From there, agencies leverage other public and private resources to create a strong network of services.
In Missouri, CSBG is administered by the Family Support Division, Department of Social Services.
Because poverty looks different from one family to the next, CSBG supports a wide variety of solutions—from help in a crisis to programs that build long-term stability.
How We Help
Through our office hubs in Raymore, Appleton City, and El Dorado Springs, and our Mobile Action Center, we connect people with programs that address:
Employment and education
Housing and emergencies
Nutrition and income management
Our mission is simple: remove barriers, provide support, and help families achieve self-sufficiency.
