The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a $2,299,981 Project Grant to the Providence Housing Authority under the Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative (CFDA 14.895). The grant funding supports the implementation of HUD's Jobs-Plus program, which aims to increase earnings and advance employment outcomes for public housing residents through a comprehensive service model. The key products and services to be delivered include:
Case management, employment-related services (e.g., work readiness training, employer linkages, job placement, educational advancement, technology skills, financial literacy), a rent incentive through the Jobs Plus Earned Income Disregard, and community supports for work. The program is expected to serve over 2,600 public housing residents in Providence, RI. Expected measurable outputs include the number of residents enrolled in the rent incentive, completing intake assessments, receiving post-assessment services, and securing new part-time or full-time employment. This 5-year grant award, effective August 1, 2024, aims to increase earnings and employment outcomes for the target public housing population.
