CSD requests agencies submit a completed CAP, including a CNA, to CSD on or before June 30, 2025. Changes from the previous template are detailed below in the “What’s New for 2026/2027?” section. Provide all narrative responses in 12-point Arial font with 1.15 spacing. A completed CAP template should not exceed 65 pages, excluding the appendices.  \nPurpose  \nPublic Law 105-285 (the CSBG Act) and the California Government Code require that CSD secure a CAP, including a CNA from each agency. Section 676(b)(11) of the CSBG Act directs that receipt of a CAP is a condition to receive funding. Section 12747(a) of the California Government Code requires the CAP to assess poverty-related needs, available resources, feasible goals, and strategies that yield program priorities consistent with standards of effectiveness established for the program. Although CSD may prescribe statewide priorities or strategies that shall be considered and addressed at the local level, each agency is authorized to set its own program priorities in conformance to its determination of local needs. The CAP supported by the CNA is a two-year plan that shows how agencies will deliver CSBG services. CSBG funds are by their nature designed to be flexible. They shall be used to support activities that increase the capacity of low-income families and individuals to become self-sufficient.  \nFederal CSBG Programmatic Assurances and Certification  \nThe Federal CSBG Programmatic Assurances are found in Section 676(b) of the CSBG Act. These assurances are an integral part of the information included in the CSBG State Plan. A list of the assurances that are applicable to CSBG agencies has been provided in the Federal Programmatic Assurances section of this template. CSBG agencies should review these assurances and confirm that they are in compliance. Signature of the board chair and executive director on the Cover Page certify compliance with the Federal CSBG Programmatic Assurances.  \nState Assurances and Certification  \nAs required by the CSBG Act, states are required to submit a State Plan as a condition to receive funding. Information provided in agencies’ CAPs will be included in the CSBG State Plan. Alongside Organizational Standards, the state will be reporting on State Accountability Measures in order to ensure accountability and program performance improvement. A list of the applicable State Assurances is provided in this template. CSBG agencies should review these assurances and confirm that they are in compliance. Signature of the board chair and executive director on the Cover Page certify compliance with the State Assurances.  \nCompliance with CSBG Organizational Standards  \nAs described in the Office of Community Services (OCS) Information Memorandum (IM) \\#138 dated January 26, 2015, CSBG agencies will comply with the Organizational Standards. A list of Organizational Standards that are met by an accepted CAP, including a CNA, are found in the Organizational Standards section of this","cbCaiodC2xJdZid3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiodC2xJdZid3","pdf",4559251,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose\n# Federal CSBG Programmatic Assurances and Certification\n# State Assurances and Certification\n# Compliance with CSBG Organizational Standards\n# What’s New for 2026/2027?\n## Checklist\n## Cover Page\n## Public Hearing(s)\n# Part I: Community Needs Assessment Summary\n## Narrative\n## Results\n# Part II: Community Action Plan\n## Vision and Mission Statements\n## Causes and Conditions of Poverty\n## Tripartite Board of Directors\n## Service Delivery System\n## Linkages and Funding Coordination\n## Monitoring\n## ROMA Application\n# Part III: Appendices","[{\"question\":\"When are agencies required to submit the 2026/2027 CAP (including the CNA)?\",\"answer\":\"Agencies must submit a completed CAP, including a CNA, on or before June 30, 2025.
