The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration is offering $11.7 million through approximately 10 grants, each worth $1,170,000 for a 27-month period. This grant program aims to support the reintegration of adult ex-offenders into high-poverty, high-crime communities. Specifically, grants will be awarded to faith-based and community organizations to provide essential pre-release and post-release services. These services include comprehensive job training, employment preparation, mentorship, and crucial connections to supportive resources like housing, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services. A key focus is developing employment opportunities in in-demand sectors, including emerging “green” jobs. Applicants must demonstrate community need, outline their program’s design for employment outcomes, and show partnerships with criminal justice and social service providers.
