The Employment and Training Administration announces the availability of approximately $20 million for two grants to serve young adult (ages 18 to 24) offenders and high school dropouts in high- poverty, high-crime communities. The purpose of these grants is to prepare these individuals for employment. These grants will be awarded through a competitive process open to national and regional intermediaries with experience conducting multi-site projects and experience serving young adult offenders. The Department expects to award two grants of $10 million each covering a six-month planning period and two full years of operation. Grantees will be required to competitively select local sub-grantees to operate the program in a minimum of five high-poverty, high-crime communities across at least two States.
