About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families administers the Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals program (CFDA 93.593), which funds job creation for low-income individuals and TANF recipients through business development assistance. The most recent grant award was made on October 1, 2011.
This program is inactive. No grant awards have been issued since October 2011—more than fifteen years ago. The portfolio shows 173 total awards spanning from 2000 to 2011, with award activity concentrated in 2008 (25 awards) and 2011 (56 awards); activity trended downward from 2008 through 2010 before the 2011 spike. The source contains no evidence of recent grant opportunities or ongoing solicitation.
JOLI grantees create employment and business opportunities through three strategies: new business ventures, business expansion, and self-employment or micro-enterprise development. Grantees provide technical assistance and financial assistance to private employers to support job creation. Recent Project Grant awards funded initiatives including childcare enterprises, licensing programs, and community services job placement activities, with award values typically in the $290 thousand to $440 thousand range. Block Grants to states ranged from $28 thousand to $3.06 million, supporting leveraging and employment development at the state and local level.
The portfolio consists of 55 percent Block Grants (96 awards) and 45 percent Project Grants (77 awards). The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families was the sole funding source across all 173 awards, obligating $377.4 million in federal dollars total. Representative recent awards included a $3.06 million Block Grant to Pennsylvania (12B2PALIE2, October 1, 2011), a $2.74 million Block Grant to New Jersey (1201NJLIE2, October 1, 2011), a $1.56 million Block Grant to Ohio (12B2OHLIE2, October 1, 2011), and four Project Grants of $290 thousand each for childcare and community services initiatives (90EO0211–90EO0214, September 30, 2011).

Objective and description
- Objective
The purpose of the JOLI program is to create new jobs to be filled by low-income individuals. JOLI grantees create jobs through business plans and the provision of technical and/or financial assistance to private employers in the community. Accordingly, JOLI grantees assist in creating new employment and business opportunities for individuals receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and for other low-income individuals. Funded projects focus on one of three program strategies to create new job and employment opportunities: (1) new business ventures, (2) business expansion, and (3) self-employment/micro-enterprise.
