Details:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) provides the opportunity for public or private non-profit organizations, including women, minority, community, and faith-based organizations; public institutions of higher education, including Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally-controlled, and Alaska and Hawaii Native-serving higher education institutions; nonprofit post-secondary education institutions with or without 501(c)(3) status; unions, labor or labor-management organizations; non-profit industry organizations; state and local governments; and Indian or Native American entities eligible for grants under Section 166 of WIOA to provide reentry programming to eligible, incarcerated individuals prior to release from state correctional facilities or county or local jails and to continue comprehensive services after release. By beginning reentry services while participants are still incarcerated and continuing post-release, these projects are designed to eliminate the time gap between release from jail or prison and enrollment into a workforce development reentry program. These programs will lead to skills-based employment, improve individuals’ transition back into their communities, and reduce recidivism.
The purpose of this program is to provide eligible incarcerated individuals in men’s and women’s state correctional facilities or local or county jails with workforce services prior to release and to continue services after release by transitioning the participants into reentry programs in the communities to which they will return. The FOA refers to these communities as the application’s “target communities” or “target areas”; they are the areas where the applicants will be providing reentry services. These grants are job-driven and build connections to local employers and unions that will enable justice-involved persons to secure employment in good jobs, while advancing opportunities for individuals facing significant barriers to labor market reentry, including incarcerated women and communities of color.
