PROJECT NARRATIVE

PROPOSED DISASTER-RELIEF ACTIVITIES

Describe the specific needs resulting from the disaster event in the geographic region proposed to be served:

Identify the proposed disaster-relief jobs the requested funding will create in order to address the needs identified above. Disaster-relief positions may address cleanup resulting from the impact of the disaster event, along with the humanitarian assistance needs created by the disaster.

Describe the Supportive Services Needed by Participants Enrolled in Disaster Relief Employment

NOTE: This section should include only the Supportive Services needed by workers to participant in disaster-relief employment. These may include such things as childcare, transportation, work boots, and work gloves.

PROJECT NARRATIVE

PROPOSED CAREER AND TRAINING SERVICES

This is not a required element for Disaster Recovery DWGs. If the applicant does not propose to provide Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) career and training services to participants, the completion of this form is NOT required.

Disaster Recovery DWG grant recipients may submit a modification request to seek permission to provide these services at a later date.

For projects proposing to request career and training services without a disaster-relief jobs component, explain why this project has not included disaster-relief employment:

Explain why state and local WIOA formula funds are not sufficient to address the career and training needs of the participants to be enrolled in the project:

Describe the career and training services to be provided, as well as how the applicant determined the need for career and training services (e.g. such as disaster-relief workers seeking Career and Training

Services, Rapid Response surveys, and/or increased demand at local Career Centers). Describe how the number needing these services was calculated.

PERFORMANCE

The DWG program applies performance measures as described in WIOA

Section 116. These include the following:

Planned Employment Rate (2nd Quarter after Exit)

Planned Employment Rate (4th Quarter after Exit)

Planned Median Earnings

Planned Credential Rate

Planned Measurable Skill Gains Rate

The component of a Disaster Recovery DWG providing Career and Training Services is assessed under

WIOA performance measures.

For grantees that are states or outlying areas, state performance goals for the WIOA title I Dislocated

Worker Program serve as a basis for each DWG. For grantees that are a local WDB, utilize goals that the local WDB negotiated with the state for the title I Dislocated Worker program as a basis for each

DWG. Entities in the WIOA section 166(c) Native American Program use goals established for that program as a basis for DWG performance targets. For these and other eligible entities, goals approved in the DWG application serve as final performance targets.

Are the planned performance goals for this project the same as the applicable negotiated goals? Yes or

No?

If the above goals are lower than the negotiated goals, please explain why:
