Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

The Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) is a government office aimed at fostering collaboration between the federal government and faith-based and community organizations. Its goal is to enhance social services by leveraging the unique strengths these groups have in addressing community needs. The office works to remove barriers that organizations might face in accessing federal resources, ensuring that they can effectively offer services like food assistance, housing support, and education programs. By partnering with these organizations, the OFBCI seeks to improve outcomes for individuals and families, especially those in underserved areas.
