Description
The California Community Reinvestment Grants (CalCRG) program, administered by GO-Biz, funds local health departments and qualified community-based nonprofit organizations serving California communities disproportionately affected by past federal and state drug policies. Established through Proposition 64, the program seeks to repair multigenerational harms of the War on Drugs and advance health, wellness, and economic justice.
Funding supports job placement, mental health treatment, substance use disorder treatment, system navigation, legal services addressing barriers to reentry, and linkages to medical care. The program emphasizes science and data, emerging approaches, whole-person and trauma-informed care, and accountability. FY 2026–27 priorities include organizations led by directly impacted individuals, organizations serving formerly incarcerated people, and organizations placing people in jobs.
