| 03-14350 | Customized Employment Grants Initiative | Notice | The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL or the Department), Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announces the availability of $2.5 million to award up to five competitive grants ranging from approximately $500,000 to $750,000 for strategic planning and implementation activities designed to improve the employment and career advancement of people with disabilities through enhanced availability and provision of customized employment services through the One-Stop delivery system established under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) (Pub. L. 105-220, 29 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.). The purpose of this Customized Employment Grant Initiative, begun by ODEP in FY'01 and continued in FY'02, is to provide funds to selected Local Workforce Investment Boards (Local Boards), or, if appropriate, the WIA grant recipient or fiscal agent for the local area on behalf of the Local Board. The Local Board will be the lead entity in a consortium/partnership of public and private entities, to build the capacity in local One-Stop Centers to provide customized employment services to those persons with disabilities who may not now be regularly targeted for services by the One-Stop Center system. Grants funded under this program will also provide a vehicle for Local Boards to systemically review their policies and practices in terms of service to persons with disabilities, and to incorporate new and innovative practices, as appropriate. Grants are for a one-year period and may be renewed for a period of up to four additional years at varying funding levels depending upon the availability of funds and the efficacy of the project activities. See also Parts IV, IX. The applicants scoring the highest when evaluated pursuant to the criteria set forth in Part VII, in conjunction with considerations by the Grant Officer delineated in Part IX of this Solicitation for Grant Application will be awarded Customized Employment Grants. Eligibility: Eligible applicants for these grants are Local Workforce Investment Boards (Local Boards) or if appropriate, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) (Pub. L. 105-220, 29 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.) grant recipient or fiscal agent for the local area on behalf of the local board under the Workforce Investment Act. The Local Board may enter into numerous partnerships with other public and private entities, consistent with the proposed activities of the grant. | 2003-06-06 | 2003 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2003/06/06/03-14350/customized-employment-grants-initiative | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-06-06/pdf/03-14350.pdf | Labor Department; Disability Employment Policy Office | 271,115 | The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL or the Department), Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) announces the availability of $2.5 million to award up to five competitive grants ranging from approximately $500,000 to $750,000 for strategic planning... |
