We are pleased to share that Liberal Area Coalition for Families (LACF), soon to be Community Action Coalition for Families, has agreed to become a Kansas Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) Eligible Entity and will include a 13-county CSBG service area. The 13 counties include Finney, Ford, Grant, Gray, Hamilton, Haskell, Hodgeman, Kearny, Meade, Morton, Seward, Stanton, and Stevens.
In addition, we are pleased to share that NEK-CAP, Inc. will add 22 counties to their legacy 16-county CSBG service area to serve a total of 38 counties. The 22 counties include Barton, Cheyenne, Decatur, Ellis, Gove, Graham, Greeley, Lane, Logan, Ness, Norton, Phillips, Rawlins, Rooks, Rush, Scott, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Trego, Wallace, and Wichita.
The primary intended use of the CSBG grant funds awarded to Kansas and to sub-grantees is “to provide assistance to local communities in Kansas, working through a network of Community Action Agencies and other neighborhood-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas to strive for self-sufficiency.”
Both organizations are currently in transition to serve the designated CSBG service areas. KHRC will make an announcement in the coming months when full CSBG services will be available through LACF and NEK-CAP, Inc. Currently, both organizations can provide information and referrals only.
