Opportunity Summary:
The Job Opportunities for Low Income Individuals (JOLI) grant is a federal discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). Its core purpose is straightforward: help communities create new jobs that are specifically intended to be filled by low-income individuals. The program is designed to move people toward economic self-sufficiency by expanding real employment opportunities, not just offering short-term support. In practice, JOLI focuses on partnering with private employers and helping them grow in ways that lead directly to additional hiring.
Under JOLI, the organization receiving the grant (the grantee) is expected to create jobs by developing business plans and then providing technical assistance and/or financial assistance to private employers in the community. That assistance can take different forms depending on the project model, but the central idea is that nonprofits use grant resources to help businesses start up, expand, stabilize, or modernize in ways that generate new positions. Those newly created jobs are then targeted to low-income individuals, linking employer growth to a clear community employment outcome. The end goal is not only job placement, but long-term economic stability for the people hired.
This opportunity was posted on May 18, 2010, under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2010-ACF-OCS-EO-0023, with the title "Job Opportunities for Low Income Individuals (JOLI)."

No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute a formal match to be eligible.
Eligible applicants were nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The announcement also made clear that faith-based and community organizations were eligible to apply, consistent with federal grant rules that allow such organizations to compete for funding on the same basis as other nonprofits. The funding activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 93.593.
