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. Navigators can be found at events throughout the community and at some partner agencies in the county. Navigators have benefit applications available and can assist with helping people complete and submit applications. Community Navigators are available to help people find community resources that may be supportive to them.
