The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $2,062,090 Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant (CFDA 17.277) to the Texas Workforce Commission on July 23, 2024. The grant provides time-limited funding to support comprehensive employment and training services for dislocated workers in disaster-affected areas of Texas. Key activities include clean-up, recovery, and humanitarian assistance efforts, as well as career counseling, skills training, job placement, and supportive services.
The grant supports sub-awards to regional workforce development boards and councils, such as the Houston-Galveston Area Council, Deep East Texas Local Workforce Development Board, Rural Capital Area Workforce Development Board, and Central Texas Workforce Development Board, to deliver these services at the local level. These sub-recipients will provide a range of assistance, including workforce training programs, sector partnerships, employment services, and childcare support, to help dislocated workers reenter the workforce following the disaster.
