New Annual Reporting for States and Grantees
States and CSBG eligible entities must now file a new annual CSBG Disaster Supplemental Annual Report. States complete Module 1 and each state is estimated to spend about 110 hours per year; eligible entities complete Modules 2 and 3 and are estimated to spend about 235 hours per year, for a total estimated annual burden of 7,505 hours. Public comments on this information collection are due by July 13, 2026.
$25M Allocated for Fiona and Ian Recovery
OCS received an additional $25 million through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (signed December 29, 2022) to support expenses directly related to Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. OCS allocated these funds to grant recipients, who then issued grants to CSBG eligible entities to support disaster recovery activities for individuals and families with low incomes.
Required Accounting and Client Data in Report
The report must include an accounting of how CSBG Disaster Supplemental Funds were spent, including state and eligible entity administrative costs, funds used for direct local services, and the number and characteristics of clients served. States (including DC, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories) must also summarize training and technical assistance they offered as part of the report.
