Federal Grant Award Summary

The Government of Guam - Department of Administration, Bureau of Statistics and Plans received a $987,339 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP, CFDA 17.235) for the program year July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The award funds part-time community service employment opportunities for low-income adults age 55 and older with household incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty level who are not job-ready. Grant recipients must deliver participants to part-time positions at nonprofit and public agencies where they earn minimum wage while gaining work experience that prepares them for unsubsidized employment.

Under this award, the Government of Guam will provide comprehensive supportive services including on-the-job training, individual employment plans, and occupational skills training to facilitate participant transition into unsubsidized employment. The grantee is authorized to subcontract with other local agencies and nonprofit organizations to deliver these services. Performance is measured through core metrics including aggregate community service employment hours, the percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during the second and fourth quarters following program exit, median earnings outcomes, and indicators of effectiveness in serving employers, host agencies, and participants.
