Here is the eagerly-awaited RFP offering WIA (Workforce Investment Act) funds for local partnerships of Regional Workforce Boards and homelessness service providers to assist the homeless in finding and keeping self-sustaining employment, and getting the training and supports needed to reach that objective. Note that eligibility to apply is broadly open, but strongly encourages well-partnered service delivery designs, and makes linkage with the local Employ Florida One-Stop system indispensable. Note that this RFP is complementary to the earlier WFI grant invitation to serve other targeted groups, but the amounts available here are in addition to the earlier “pot” the application process is separate. However we are fully aware that many of those served thought this homelessness grant will have similar barriers and barriers shared with ex-offenders, individuals with disabilities, youth aging out of foster care and other targeted groups.
