In September 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 941 (Bennett, Chapter 203) into law, establishing the Farmworker Resource Center Grant Program. The grant program will make 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.
Starting in June 2022, CSD will convene a series of meetings for the Farmworker Resource Center Workgroup to discuss the development and implementation of this grant program.
Interested parties can submit a request to be notified of future Workgroup meetings or to receive general information regarding the Farmworker Resource Center Grant Program or Workgroup by emailing FarmworkerResourceCenter@csd.ca.gov.
