The Florida Department of Commerce received a $1,500,000 Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant (CFDA 17.277) from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration on December 20, 2024. This time-limited grant funding will support the provision of disaster relief employment, career services, training, and supportive services for dislocated workers impacted by declared disasters and emergencies in Florida.
The grant activities include clean-up, recovery, and humanitarian assistance efforts, as well as employment and training services to help dislocated workers reenter the workforce and transition to new careers. Florida workforce development boards, including Suncoast Workforce Board, Inc., Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance, Inc., and Brevard Workforce Development Board, Inc., have been selected as sub-grantees to deliver these services at the local level. The grant period of performance extends through December 31, 2026, with the possibility of an extension if adequately justified.
