Social Services Block Grant (SSBG)

The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) is a federal funding program in the United States designed to support a wide range of social services at the state level. States receive these funds to address various community needs, such as child welfare, mental health support, disability services, and assistance for the elderly. The SSBG provides states with flexibility to allocate resources based on their specific social service priorities and challenges, helping to improve the well-being of individuals and families in their communities.
