About the Prop 47 Program
The Prop 47 Grant is funded from savings generated from the enactment of the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014. Each year, the Department of Finance calculates the savings and distributes funding to the BSCC, State Department of Education, and California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board. By law, the BSCC receives 65 percent of the state savings to administer a grant program. The BSCC anticipates that approximately $127 million in funding will be available for the Prop 47 Cohort 5 RFP. This funding is contingent on the amount of funds available in the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund at the time of award. Learn more about the Scoring Panel, experience required, and more here.
