$52 Million from USDOL to improve post-release employment opportunities and reduce recidivism
With dollars from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, USDOL’s Employment and Training Administration is set to fund up to 20 projects that intend to eliminate gaps between release from prison or jail and enrollment in workforce development programs. The Pathway Home grants will help to enhance reintegration efforts and reduce recidivism.
Projects will provide justice-involved adults with legal assistance, counseling, job search and foundational skills in advance of release. Funding will range from $1 million to $4 million, and can support apprenticeship, occupational training and support services. Applications must be submitted by April 4th.
