About this file

This document amends a funding opportunity announcement for YouthBuild grants from the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration. The amendment revises two sections: the spending rate analysis criteria now awards points based on expenditures of at least 80-90% of prior grant funds and 100% match requirement; and size and scope now requires completed grants of at least $500,000 that enrolled at least 40 participants and provided specified services. Eligible applicants are public or private non-profits including consortia that have served opportunity youth. The agency will fund approximately 75 projects across the country with individual grants ranging from $700,000 to $1.5 million requiring a 25% match waived for tribal entities and U.S. insular areas. The 40-month grant period includes four months of planning and twelve months of follow-up. The associated federal grant program is YouthBuild under which funds will equip underserved youth with education and employment skills for economic self-sufficiency through services like post-secondary opportunities and apprenticeship.
