Description
The Pathway Home 6 grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA), aims to provide workforce development services to eligible incarcerated individuals in men’s and women’s state correctional facilities or local/county jails. The program supports workforce services beginning prior to release and continuing post-release by transitioning participants into community reentry programs. This approach is designed to eliminate the gap between release and enrollment in workforce development programs, facilitating skills-based employment, improving community reintegration, and reducing recidivism rates.
ETA plans to award approximately $25 million through an estimated 9 grants, with individual awards up to $4 million. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
