Annual Report Data Collect Starts Now!

CSBG Annual Report 3.0 data collection begins  October 1, 2026. 

Annual Report 3.0 includes several important changes:

  • Updated demographic information
  • New/Different services and outcomes
  • Revised domains  


Some agencies already have systems in place that will automatically map to the new 3.0 metrics. Others may need to make data collection adjustments and provide staff training so everyone is using the new metrics and demographics starting October 1, 2026.  

Key Dates


  • Data collection start: October 1, 2026
  • First quarter report due: February 15, 2027
  • Covers the period October 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026


Important Reminders

The CAP Plans submitted in August already contain the new 3.0 services and outcomes. Please refer to your CAP Plans as you begin implementing 3.0 data collection next month. You may continue collecting 2.1 data points. Some of these may map to 3.0 metrics, and others may still be useful for your own agency’s internal tracking. Only 3.0 services, outcomes, and demographics will be reported to the federal Office of Community Services (OCS). The new 3.0 report document can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x-5_sCoG4SXIVEk6XAEfeguXi-08_q1B/view?usp=drivesdk

Don’t forget to check out other resources on our Annual Report 3.0 Hub.   Please take time now to confirm your systems, processes, and staff training plans so your agency is fully prepared for the October 1 start date.   If you have questions or need support, feel free to reach out.
