The State allocates CSBG funds by the following formula: Using the latest Census data, the number of persons in poverty by county is divided by the state total of persons in poverty to get a percentage for each county. The percentage is multiplied by the "90 percent of the total state allocation" to determine the amount of funds for each county. Each eligible entity receives the amount of funds for the counties it serves.

The Division of Community Services sends NOFAs to the eligible entities, usually the first week of July. The eligible entities submit subgrants to DCS within 60 days after the date of the NOFA. The procurement and program staff review the subgrants for errors/additional information. After the reviews, the subgrants are passed to the Office of Monitoring and Attorney General's Office for signature approval. The subgrants are then submitted to the Executive Director's Office (EDO) for final approval. The EDO requires all subgrants be submitted 30 days prior to the effective dates. Immediately after EDO approval, the procurement staff distributes the subgrants to DCS staff and supporting divisions. DCS staff packages and distributes the subgrants to eligible entities. The program year is from January through December. Entities have current year funds until the start of the new program year.
