Excerpt: . . . nd in 1998 under P. L. 105-285. Under the CSBG framework, States have the responsibility of providing overall direction to eligible entities for achieving programmatic results, supporting strong, modern management systems and coordination among programs, and ensuring that programs have adopted appropriate management and accountability measures. Each State designates a State agency to administer the block grant. State CSBG administrators distribute not less than 90 percent of the funds available to eligible entities in the form of grants. Eligible entities consist of approximately 1, 100 local service providers in 50 States, the U. S. Territories, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. These entities, which include private nonprofit CAAs, units of local government, migrant and seasonal farm worker organizations, Indian Tribes, and limited purpose agencies, are referred to as eligible entities. The vast majority of the eligible entities are Community Action Agencies (CAAs) which make up approximately 90 percent of the entities receiving CSBG funds.
