United Way of Greater New Haven Releases Workforce Development RFP
Applications due March 31, 2022
UWGNH is committed to helping all members of our community get on a path to financial stability. To achieve this goal, workforce development programs need to be able to address the unique needs of all job seekers. One way that agencies achieve this is through having access to unrestricted, flexible funds that can be used to enhance existing program dollars to help job seekers achieve better employment outcomes. This grant opportunity will provide flexible funds to existing workforce service providers. These funds can be utilized to remove barriers for job seekers to participate and complete trainings as well as secure and retain employment.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
*Transportation
*Childcare expenses
*Stipends
*Technology needs
*Job search support
*Uniforms
*Other related work supports
Organizations that apply for these funds must have programs that support ALICE and below job seekers to achieve job attainment on a career pathway with demonstrated career mobility. Prioritization will be given for programs that have demonstrated the ability to successfully serve underserved communities such as but not limited to, communities of color, low-income, female head of households, re-entering individuals, individuals experiencing homelessness, immigrants, and people with disabilities.
Funding awards will range between $5,000 and $30,000.
For the purposes of this RFP, greater New Haven is defined as: Bethany, Branford, East Haven, Guilford, Hamden, Madison, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Orange, West Haven, and Woodbridge.
