Project Grant 24A60AD000239

This federal Project Grant award, valued at $5,237,078, was provided by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Senior Community Service Employment Program (CFDA 17.235). The grant's purpose is to move SCSEP participants, who are low-income unemployed individuals aged 55 and older, into unsubsidized employment in both the public and private sectors. The grant funding supports part-time community service work experiences that prepare participants for transition to permanent employment, as well as provision of support services, on-the-job training, and skills development. The grant recipient, AARP Foundation, can sub-award portions of the funding to other local agencies and non-profit organizations to implement these workforce development activities across multiple states. Key deliverables for the grant include meeting performance targets related to participant employment outcomes, service to the most in-need individuals, and effectiveness in serving employers and host agencies.
