DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration Pathway Home 5 Funding Opportunity Announcement

FOA-ETA-24-05

Amendment One

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor

ACTION: Amendment to FOA-ETA-24-05

SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announced on February 8, 2024, the availability of funds and the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Pathway Home 5 grants to be awarded through a competitive process. This amendment clarifies applicant eligibility and budget requirements.

The document is hereby amended as follows:

Section III.A. Eligible Applicants is amended by adding the following.

Organizations, based on their Employer Identification Number, who received funding from the Pathway Home 4 competition (FOA-ETA-23-04) are not eligible for this competition, and their applications will be considered non-responsive.

The applicant agency or organization must partner with the state correctional facility or local or county jail for the project in order to have access to participants during their incarceration.

These partnerships must be documented through Letters of Commitment or Memoranda of Understanding between the applicant, and each identified mandatory partner as described in Section IV.B.3(a) and IV.B.3(d). In addition, letters must identify the name of the target community to be served, how many people were incarcerated in the proposed facility, and how many people were released into the proposed target community from that facility the prior year in order to document that there are enough potential participants to justify the requested funding amount. Letters must also state if the facility has participated or is currently participating in the DOL Pathway Home program. Applicants must also include documentation that the facilities where participants will reside at the time of enrollment are defined by state or local law as state correctional facilities or local or county jails for adults.

Section III.C. Other Information is amended by adding the following.

4. All applicants must include in their budget, funds to cover travel to DOL-sponsored technical assistance training events, as required. DOL expects Pathway Home 5 grantees to attend any DOL sponsored training events, whether in person or virtual, which may occur in each year of program operation. Possible in-person events include a national New Grantee Orientation during the first year of grant award, and a peer-to-peer training event during each year of grant program operation.
