Overview

The Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF) administrates the Free City College Program and the City College Financial Assistance Fund Oversight Committee, also known as the Free City College (FCC) Oversight Committee.

History

In 2017, the SF Board of Supervisors passed the San Francisco City College Enrollment Fee Assistance Fund and ratified a Memorandum of Understanding between the City and County of San Francisco and City College of San Francisco for the Free City College program.

DCYF administrates the program and the Oversight Committee was established to review program implementation.

In 2019, Mayor London Breed and the Board of Supervisors increased funding by amending the San Francisco City College Enrollment Fee Assistance Fund. This extended the Free City College Program for the next decade.

In September 2019, DCYF and City College of San Francisco established a 10-year Memorandum of Understanding with greater financial and programmatic oversight.
