Opportunity Summary:
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) Housing Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), specifically through the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Office of Workforce Investment (OWI), Division of Adult Services (DAS). The opportunity supports the housing assistance component of the broader NFJP, which is authorized under Section 167 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), 29 U.S.C. 2912. Under WIA, the Secretary of Labor is required to hold a national grants competition every two years to carry out the activities authorized under this section, and this solicitation is part of that recurring competitive cycle.
The focus of this particular competition is housing assistance for migrant and seasonal farmworkers. While WIA lists housing assistance as an allowable NFJP activity, the grant is shaped heavily by congressional appropriations language that sets aside a specific portion of NFJP funds for housing assistance grants. A key requirement tied to those appropriations is that at least 70 percent of the funds made available through this housing set-aside must go toward permanent housing activities, meaning the program is intended to prioritize long-term, stable housing solutions rather than only short-term or transitional options.
This solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 10 08) was announced in advance of final passage of the Department of Labor fiscal year 2011 appropriation, with the intent of being ready to award Program Year (PY) 2011 NFJP housing assistance grants if and when Congress appropriates the funds. The notice makes clear that DOL would not obligate funds for PY 2011 awards unless the funding is actually appropriated. The estimated total funding level tied to the FY 2011 request for the housing assistance program was stated as $5,700,000.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 17.264 (National Farmworker Jobs Program) and falls within the Employment, Labor and Training activity category. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, which typically means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award (though applicants may still choose to leverage other resources as part of their project design).
Eligibility is broad and is not limited to existing NFJP housing assistance grantees. Organizations do not need to be current or prior housing assistance grantees to apply. Eligible applicants include state agencies, state workforce investment boards (SWIBs), local government agencies, local workforce investment boards (LWIBs), faith-based and community organizations, and other nonprofit organizations. This structure is meant to allow both public-sector and community-based entities with relevant experience to compete, especially those positioned to deliver housing-related services or to develop partnerships that can produce permanent housing outcomes for farmworker populations.
The solicitation was posted on March 16, 2011, with an application deadline of May 3, 2011. Applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, emphasizing a hard receipt deadline rather than a postmark deadline. The opportunity was later archived on June 2, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition tied to that program year funding cycle.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact at DOL ETA: Eileen Banks, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-693-3403, with an email field referenced in the listing.
