The CANDELS survey provides a unique probe of AGN evolution to very early epochs, through a combination of deep HST optical+YJH imaging over both GOODS fields as well as AEGIS, COSMOS, and the UDS. The rich multi-wavelength datasets on these fields include extensive coverage from Chandra, XMM, Spitzer, Herschel, and other facilities, which can be combined to yield robust constraints on the properties of faint, high-redshift AGN. These enable evolutionary models of black hole growth to be examined in the context of early galaxy formation, in particular determining the faint-end slope of the high-redshift AGN luminosity function in order to obtain constraints on the black hole mass function and the accretion history at these early epochs. Initial results from the CANDELS survey on the properties of high-redshift AGN and early black hole growth will be presented, as well as the outlook for the parameter space probed once the survey is complete.
