| Allocation Formula |
The Department of Finance (DOF) set a base funding level of $75,000 for each FYSCP. One county was not funded as no foster youth were reported in the county. The DOF allocated 70 percent of the adjusted FYSCP funding to all remaining counties based on the number of foster youth in each county and 30 percent based on the number of school districts in each county.
