OUR MISSION: to assist states in responding to poverty issues

The National Association for State Community Services Programs (NASCSP) has positioned itself as the premier national association charged with advocating and enhancing the leadership role of states in preventing and reducing poverty.  NASCSP's vision encompasses the empowerment of low-income families to reach self-sufficiency in its broadest context, through helping states attain full utilization of their resources and implement an extensive array of services to these families, including weatherization, energy assistance, child care, nutrition, employment, state energy programs, job training, and housing in urban, suburban and rural communities.

 ABOUT NASCSP

NASCSP coordinates semi-annual training seminars for state and local CSBG and WAP staff. Weatherization Assistance Program Technical Assistance Center (WAPTAC) provides technical assistance and support to the DOE national headquarters, state and local WAP agencies, and other stakeholders. WAPTAC also coordinates an orientation for new WAP staff. NASCSP staff also provide training and technical assistance to states and local agencies upon request in the areas of data collection and Results Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) implementation.
