DYCD Announces Public Hearings on Federal Funding to Combat Poverty

DYCD will be holding a series of Public Hearings beginning June 1st on the allocation of federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) funding to combat poverty and support community-based human services programs.

The public hearings are a great opportunity for concerned residents of low-income communities to participate in the decision-making process, and make their voices heard about where and how these precious resources should be distributed.
