The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) recently
announced the release of the Proposition 64 Public Health and
Safety (Prop 64 PH&S) Grant Program Cohort 3, Request for
Proposals (RFP).
The Prop 64 PH&S Grant Program directs revenue from the
cultivation and sale of cannabis to projects that promote public
health and safety. Through this funding opportunity and a
competitive process, $150,000,000 is available for projects that
address local impacts due to the legalization of adult
recreational cannabis in California.
Eligible applicants are counties, cities, and city/county
in California that do not ban both indoor and
outdoor commercial cannabis cultivation, or retail sale of
cannabis or cannabis products. Proposals must be received through
the BSCC-Submittable Application portal by 5:00p.m. on
Friday, December 2, 2022. The RFP Instruction Packet and
submittal directions are available on the BSCC
Prop 64 Homepage.
Additionally, on Wednesday, November 9 at 1:30 pm, the BSCC
will hold a Bidders’ Conference to answer technical questions
about the Cohort 3 RFP from prospective applicants and provide
clarity on RFP instructions. All are invited to attend remotely
via
Zoom.
BSCC requests that applicants who plan to attend the virtual
Bidders’ Conference, RSVP by email with their name, title, and
name of their agency/organization. EMAIL RSVP to: Prop64_Grant3@bscc.ca.gov.
