Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| Synopsis 3 | On March 1, we issued Amendment One to modify the way we would evaluate previously-funded applicants’ retention in education and employment. Upon further reflection, we’ve determined the SGA requires additional modification to present a better representative accounting of the performance of previously-funded applicants. Please see the Revised Full Announcement, Amendment Two, for more details. | Mar 13, 2013 |
| Synopsis 2 | This Amendment only applies to applicants that have previously received funding from the Department of Labor (DOL) to operate a YouthBuild program. If the organization has never received funding from DOL to operate a YouthBuild program, applicants should respond to Section V.C. Required Criteria for New Applicants, which remains unchanged. Please see the Revised Full Announcement, Amendment One, for more details. | |
