Description
The California Community Reinvestment Grants (CalCRG) program is administered by GO-Biz to support local health departments and qualified community-based nonprofit organizations serving communities disproportionately affected by past federal and state drug policies. Established through Proposition 64, the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, it funds job placement, mental health and substance use disorder treatment, system navigation, reentry legal services, and linkages to medical care.
The program’s mission is to advance health, wellness, and economic justice for populations harmed by the War on Drugs. Its guiding principles emphasize responsiveness to affected communities, approaches grounded in science and data, openness to emerging practices, whole-person trauma-informed care, and accountability to taxpayers and stakeholders. Services may reach youth or adults, provided applicants explain how the proposed population has been affected by past drug policies.
