Farmworker Resource Center Grant Program

​FRC Program, tractor, cows, grain, and vendor selling fresh produce

​

​​In September 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 941 (Bennett, Chapter 203) into law, establishing the Farmworker Resource Center Grant Program. The grant program made funding available to counties interested in developing resource centers and programs designed to address the needs of farmworkers and their families. The Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) is the administering agency for the grant program.​

In 2022, CSD​ convened the Farmworker Resource Center Workgroup to discuss the development and implementation of this grant program. A Notice of Funding Availability was subsequently released and an Intent to Award identifying three county grantees was announced in January 2023.​
