The State of Kansas Department of Commerce was awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the WIOA Dislocated Worker National Reserve Technical Assistance and Training program (CFDA 17.281). This award will support the coordination, development, and provision of appropriate training, technical assistance, staff development, and other activities to enhance public workforce system capabilities across Kansas. The funding will enable the department to replicate effective workforce programs, improve service delivery for dislocated workers, and support technology modernization efforts in the workforce ecosystem. The Cooperative Agreement has a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF), as a sub-awardee, also receives substantial federal funding through grants and contracts to administer a wide range of social services and assistance programs in the state. DCF holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the U.S. Army to provide food services and dining facility support at military installations in Kansas, valued at millions of dollars. The agency also receives numerous formula and block grants from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture to support critical social services programs such as TANF, SNAP, LIHEAP, and child welfare initiatives.
