CSD Home

Community Services & Development (CSD) is a state department of the California Health and Human Services Agency.

CSD administers federal programs to help low-income families achieve and maintain self-sufficiency, meet their home energy needs, and reside in housing free from the dangers of lead hazards. In addition, CSD administers a state-funded Naturalization Services Program that assists legal permanent residents to obtain citizenship.

CSD works with a network of more than 100 agencies throughout California that provide services and programs directly in the community.
