Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement solicits applications for Pathway Home 6 grants. ETA plans to award $25 million in an estimated 9 grants up to $4 million each. 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. By providing for reentry services to begin while participants are still incarcerated and to continue post-release, these projects are designed to eliminate the time gap between release from prison and enrollment into a workforce development reentry program leading to skills-based employment, to improve individuals’ transition back into their communities, and to reduce recidivism. Questions regarding this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) may be emailed to PH6_FOA-ETA-25-29@dol.gov. We encourage prospective applicants and interested parties to use the Grants.gov subscription option to register for future updates provided for this particular FOA.
