Charlotte Area Fund (CAF) has received official notification from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) directing all Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)-funded activities under Contract #48794 to temporarily pause, effective immediately.
This action is the result of a lapse in federal funding following Congress’s failure to pass a federal Appropriations Act or a Continuing Resolution for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. As a result, federal funds that support CSBG programs nationwide are currently unavailable.
What This Means
- All CSBG-funded services and activities are paused until federal funding is restored.
- Charlotte Area Fund is prohibited from spending, purchasing, or committing any additional CSBG funds during this period.
- This suspension will remain in effect until further notice from NCDHHS.
Our Commitment
This pause is not related to Charlotte Area Fund’s performance or compliance. Charlotte Area Fund remains fully committed to its mission of supporting and empowering low-income individuals and families in Mecklenburg County. In fact, we hope that you will benefit from External Resources Page that we’ve created that you can access by clicking here.
Our team will continue to communicate with program participants, partners, and the broader community as updates become available.
Stay Informed
Updates will be posted on our website as soon as additional guidance is received.
