Opportunity Summary:
The Serving Adult and Youth Ex Offenders through Strategies Targeted to Characteristics Common to Female Ex Offenders grant opportunity was a U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA) discretionary funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number SGA-DFA-PY-11-12) under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). It offered an estimated total of about $12,000,000 to fund workforce-focused reintegration efforts for people with criminal records, with a specific emphasis on program models designed around needs and barriers commonly experienced by female ex offenders. Even though the strategies were meant to be tailored to women, the funded services still had to remain available to eligible male ex offenders as well, meaning programs could not exclude men if they met eligibility requirements. The overall goal aligned with CFDA 17.270 (Reintegration of Ex Offenders) and sat within the broader category of employment, labor, and training.
ETA expected to make approximately eight awards, with each applicant allowed to submit only one proposal. The maximum award size (the ceiling) was $1,500,000 per grant, and applicants were expected to request an amount tied to the number of participants they proposed to serve rather than simply applying for the cap by default. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the financial barrier for smaller organizations or public entities that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute. Awards were to be made competitively, so applicants would be evaluated against one another rather than being funded by formula.
Eligible applicants were limited to three broad categories: nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status; units of state or local government; and Indian and Native American entities eligible for grants under WIA Section 166. In practice, that meant community-based reentry nonprofits, county or city agencies, and tribal organizations could all apply if they were positioned to deliver or coordinate workforce and reentry services for adults and youth involved with the justice system. The opportunity did not list other organization types as eligible beyond those categories.
The period of performance was 30 months and was structured to support both startup and sustained service delivery. Up to six months could be used for planning, and at least 24 months had to be devoted to operations. Importantly, the operational window was required to include enough time for each participant to complete program services and then receive follow-up support for about 3 to 4 months after completing the main program. Because of that follow-up requirement, the solicitation explicitly noted that the final cohort of participants had to finish core program activities 3 to 4 months before the grant ended, ensuring follow-up services could still occur within the grant period. ETA also clarified that grantees could run overlapping phases, meaning they could be providing follow-up services to earlier participants while still delivering direct services to newer participants at the same time.
From an administrative standpoint, the announcement was posted on March 22, 2012, and applications were due by May 4, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The archive date was June 3, 2012, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition.
