About this opportunity

The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration is seeking applications for the Pathway Home 6 grant program. This $25 million program will award approximately 20 grants up to $4 million each to provide workforce services to incarcerated individuals in state correctional facilities or local/county jails. The purpose is to offer reentry services that begin during incarceration and continue after release, eliminating the gap between release and enrollment in a workforce development program. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, public institutions of higher education, state/local governments, workforce boards, Indian/Native American entities, and labor organizations. Key requirements include serving adults aged 18+ with release dates 20-270 days from enrollment, providing pre-release job preparation and post-release skill-building leading to industry-recognized credentials, and maintaining the same caseworker pre- and post-release. The performance period is 42 months starting July 1, 2025, with a 3-6 month planning period, 24-27 months of services, and 12 months of follow-up.

The Pathway Home 6 grant program is part of the Department of Labor's broader Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) initiative, which aims to improve employment outcomes and reduce recidivism for justice-involved individuals through comprehensive workforce development services. Funding opportunities under this program typically range from $1.8 million to $10.2 million, with a focus on serving high-poverty, high-crime communities across urban and rural areas.

Update #5 · Latest ·

This Funding Opportunity Announcement solicits applications for Pathway Home 6 grants. ETA plans to award $25 million in an estimated 9 grants up to $4 million each. The purpose of this program is to provide eligible incarcerated individuals in men's and women's state correctional facilities or local or county jails with workforce services prior to release and to continue services after release by transitioning the participants into reentry programs in the communities to which they will return.
