The Louisiana Workforce Commission received a $577,904 Formula Grant award from the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services under the Randolph-Sheppard – Financial Relief and Restoration Payments federal grant program (CFDA 84.426). The grant aims to provide financial relief and restoration payments to offset losses incurred by blind vendors in Louisiana during calendar year 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, if those losses were not otherwise compensated. It will also support the state's Business Enterprise program. The grant period runs from June 2, 2021 through September 30, 2022, with all funds aimed at assisting blind vendors in the state who experienced losses during the initial pandemic period.
