Hurricanes and Wildfires of 2017 Supplemental- National Dislocated Worker Grants

 

The purpose of the National Dislocated Worker Grant program is to temporarily expand service capacity at the state and local levels by providing time-limited funding assistance in response to significant dislocation events. Significant events are those that create a sudden need for assistance that cannot reasonably be expected to be accommodated within the on-going operations of the formula-funded Dislocated Worker program, including the discretionary resources reserved at the state level. Disaster Recovery DWGs provide funding to create temporary employment opportunities to assist with clean-up and recovery efforts, when an area impacted by disaster is declared eligible for public assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or declared or otherwise recognized as an emergency or disaster of national significance by a Federal agency with authority or jurisdiction over Federal response to the emergency or disaster. Disaster Recovery DWGs provide disaster relief and humanitarian assistance employment to minimize the employment impact of these disasters, in addition to employment and training services.
