Year-Two Care First Community Investment Grant Application Deadline Approaching

LOS ANGELES —  Care First Community Investment or CFCI grant applications from the Los Angeles County Justice, Care and Opportunities Department are live, and will remain open until Sept. 1. 

CFCI grants were created by the Board of Supervisors to set aside 10% of the county’s locally generated, unrestricted revenue for alternatives to incarceration and direct community investment.

A large portion of L.A. County’s direct investment is being delivered in the form of care grants to community-based organizations or CBOs that are helping justice-impacted individuals while making our communities safer.

A total of more than $55 million for three years was awarded to 118 CBOs in the first year of CFCI.

For year-two, a total of more than $122 million for three years is available to all CBOs working in the following areas:

Community operated youth centers

Expanding safety in L.A. County

Job readiness, training and placement for adults
