This $7,021,347 project grant from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration will support workforce development services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers through the National Farmworker Jobs Program. Administered by Oregon Human Development Corporation, the grant aims to help eligible individuals and their dependents obtain and retain stable employment outside of seasonal agricultural work.
Services will include career counseling, job training, youth services, housing assistance, and supportive allowances—delivered through a case management model emphasizing customer choice. Subrecipients will provide direct housing payments, develop affordable housing stock, and improve living conditions in underserved farmworker communities. Performance metrics include employment, earnings, skill gains, and credential attainment rates to evaluate success in strengthening economic self-sufficiency for this underserved population as intended under the National Farmworker Jobs Program.
