This Department of Labor Pathway Home 6 grant provides workforce services for eligible incarcerated individuals in state correctional facilities or local jails. Its core purpose is to offer support both before and after release, ensuring a seamless transition into community reentry programs. By commencing services pre-release, this initiative aims to eliminate the gap between incarceration and workforce development, fostering skills-based employment. This approach will improve individuals’ community reintegration and significantly reduce recidivism. The Department plans to award approximately $25 million, funding about nine grants up to $4 million each, for this vital purpose.
