Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal block grant that supports low-income individuals in communities across the United States. Funding allocations are determined by geographic diversity, population diversity and alignment with the CSBG Needs Assessment. Larimer County, with the support of CSBG funding, has a Community Navigator team of three.
The Larimer County Human Services Community Navigators can help with answering questions about county administered benefits like SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, and more. At events and co-locations they have benefit applications available and can assist with those. Community Navigators are available to help people find community resources that may be supportive to them.
Questions about the Community Navigators or CSBG? Contact Emily Katsimpalis, CSBG Program Supervisor, at ekatsimpalis@larimer.org or 970-498-6480
