Summary from the notice

The Office of Community Services (OCS) intends to fund Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and tribes that received FY25 Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) awards and own affordable housing units. The purpose of the AHSSD is to demonstrate the potential for improving housing stability, economic mobility, and well-being by boosting public welfare and support service enrollment for residents of affordable housing who are American citizens. AHSSD does this by improving the coordination of public and private assistance programs to prevent and reduce dependency among this population cohort. Recipients will offer direct provision of specific public welfare and support services, internal referrals to assistance programs, external referrals to programming offered through other agencies, and/or case management and human-services coordination. Recipients must also provide services to eligible residents who live in affordable housing units.The range of service enrollment is broad, including educational opportunities for children and adults; afterschool and/or summer programs for children and teens; direct provision of childcare programs/opportunities for children ages 0 to 5 or connections to Head Start and Early Head Start programs; older adult care services; mental health, alcohol, and addiction services; services for Americans and eligible residents with disabilities; self-sufficiency resources; resources on homeownership; financial literacy training; transportation services for residents; referrals and connections to resources to help meet concrete needs; and healthcare services.
