SUMMARY: Through this notice, the 

Department of Labor’s Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA), 

announces the availability of 

approximately $12 million in grant 

funds authorized by the Workforce 

Investment Act (WIA) to award 

approximately eight grants to serve 

adult and youth ex-offenders pre- and 

post-release. Services to be funded will 

be targeted to female ex-offenders, but 

must also be open to eligible male exoffenders. Applicants may submit only 

one proposal for up to $1.5 million, 

with the amount requested depending 

on the number of participants to be 

served. These grants will be selected 

through a competitive process open to 

any non-profit organization with IRS 

501(c)(3) status, unit of state or local 

government, or any Indian and Native 

American entity eligible for grants 

under WIA Section 166. These grants 

will cover a 30-month period of 

performance that includes up to six 

months of planning and a minimum of 

24 months of operations. The 24 month 

period for operations must include time 

to allow each participant to complete 

the program and have between 3–4 

months of follow-up. Thus, the last 

cohort of participants must complete 

program services 3 to 4 months before 

the end of the grant. Grantees may 

provide follow-up services to some 

participants while providing direct 

services to others. 

The complete SGA and any 

subsequent SGA amendments, in 

connection with this solicitation are
