Secretary of Labor Announces Grant Competition (deadline 3/13/2012)

The Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, announces the availability

Department expects to award approximately 17 grants of up to $1,212,000 each for 27-months,

which includes up to three months for a planning phase and a minimum of 24 months of operation.

Any non-profit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status may apply for these grants to provide pre-release

and post-release services to ex-offenders returning to high-poverty, high-crime communities. These

services will include job training leading to credentials for in-demand industries, employment preparation,

mentoring and assistance connecting to supportive services such as housing, and substance abuse programs

and mental health treatment. Click here for more details.
