The federal government provides funding and programmes that are designed to eradicate poverty in the United States. Some of that money/programmes are sent to the states to be deployed in a manner that state feels is best, others are administered through the states under the watchful eye of the federal government.
Supplemental to those funds and programmes are any additional resources the states want to throw at the problem. Those are entirely state-based programmes and can (and do) vary wildly from state to state.
In certain municipalities and incorporated areas that are sufficiently large, there may also be municipal and local government programmes entirely separate from the state and federal ones.
And then there's the private sector charities with their various missions, funding, and degree of religious flavor to their outreach. It is a Gordian knot of tangled yarnballs made up of skeins of remnants that have been fastened together in altogether different ways.
