Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), through its Employment and Training Administration (ETA), released a discretionary grant opportunity under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) to fund large-scale projects serving juvenile offenders in high-poverty, high-crime communities. The grant is designed for young people ages 16 to 24 and is focused on improving their long-term labor market outcomes, meaning better chances of getting and keeping jobs and building real career pathways over time rather than short-term placement only. The program is intended to support comprehensive strategies that address the barriers juvenile offenders commonly face when trying to enter the workforce, especially in communities where poverty and crime create additional obstacles.
Funding for the initiative totals approximately $17,000,000, and ETA expects to make two awards. Each award is anticipated to be up to $8,500,000, which is also the award ceiling. The agency structured the funding to support an initial planning period followed by as much as 26 months of operational work, reflecting the expectation that grantees will need time to design coordinated, multi-location service delivery models before fully implementing them at scale. Because ETA is only planning two awards, the competition is likely intended to identify organizations that can operate at a national or near-national level with strong infrastructure and the ability to manage complex partnerships and performance responsibilities.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations recognized under Section 501(c)(3) that can demonstrate the capacity to implement multi-site, multi-state projects. In other words, this is not aimed at smaller single-city programs unless they are part of a broader organization capable of running coordinated services across several sites and states. The solicitation indicates that awards will be made through a competitive process, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers financial barriers for applicants but typically raises the importance of showing strong organizational capacity, evidence-informed program design, and clear operational readiness.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number SGA-DFA-PY-10-09 and falls under CFDA 17.261 (WIA Pilots, Demonstrations, and Research Projects), with an activity category of Employment, Labor and Training. The original and current application deadline was April 12, 2011, with applications due by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the opportunity was posted February 28, 2011 (created March 18, 2011). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, ETA listed a point of contact: Donna Kelly, Grant Officer, at 202-693-3416 (email not provided in the excerpt).
