DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment and Training Administration


Grants for Workforce Investment Boards

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor.

ACTION: Notice of availability of funds and solicitation for grant 
applications (SGA/DFA 04-103).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Catalog of Federal Assistance No.: 17.257.

SUMMARY: This notice contains all of the necessary information and 
forms needed to apply for grant funding. The U.S. Department of Labor 
(USDOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA), announces the 
availability up to $5.5 million for grants to eligible Workforce 
Investment Boards (WIBs) that have demonstrated successfully the 
ability to form working partnerships with grassroots faith-based and 
community organizations (FBCOs).
    This grant will build upon successful ETA grants from program years 
(PY) 2001 and 2002 that focused on the use of intermediaries to build 
partnerships between FBCOs and local One-Stop systems. The WIB will 
develop and implement an 18 month project to encourage the formation of 
long-term partnerships with FBCOs that meet an unmet community need 
related to hard-to-serve populations, ex-offender re-integration, and 
employment and welfare-to-work.
    This investment supports and complements the President's High-
Growth Job Training Initiative. The foundation of this initiative is 
the creation of partnerships to work collaboratively in the development 
of solutions to the human resource challenges facing our growth 
industries while developing maximum access for American workers to gain 
the competencies they need to obtain good jobs. These partnerships 
include the public workforce system, business and industry, education 
and training providers and economic development principals; this 
solicitation is designed to also extend the partnership invitation to 
FBCOs through the direct involvement of our nation's Workforce 
Investment Boards.
    This grant also complements ETA's ongoing sectoral employment 
research and evaluations--i.e., identifying workforce needs and 
opportunities within a local or regional industry or cross-industry 
occupational group while retaining a focus on economic performance and 
competitiveness. FBCOs can discharge a significant community role in 
assisting Boards by bringing new entrants to the job market who can be 
trained and equipped to meet emerging and evolving industry needs. Each 
applicant Board will identify up to three businesses or industry 
sectors to collaborate with the Board and FBCOs within the local One-
Stop system to provide jobs for qualified employees from the identified 
geographic areas.

DATES: Applications will be accepted commencing on April 6, 2004. The 
closing date for receipt of applications under this announcement is May 
6, 2004. May 6, 2004. Applications must be received by 4 p.m. (ET) at 
the address below: No exceptions to the mailing and hand-delivery 
conditions set forth in this notice will be granted. Applications that 
do not meet the conditions set forth in this notice will not be 
honored. Telefacsimile (FAX) applications will not be honored.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description

A. Overview of ETA and CFBCI Initiatives

    DOL CFBCI works to remove administrative and regulatory barriers 
that would prevent faith-based and community organizations from 
competing equally for federal dollars. In addition, CFBCI develop 
innovative programs to foster partnerships between DOL-funded programs 
and faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs). CFBCI educate 
organizations about local opportunities to collaborate with the 
workforce development system and about opportunities to participate in 
national grant programs. CFBCI also work with local government 
officials and administrators to integrate faith-based and community 
organizations into the strategic planning and service delivery 
processes of local Workforce Investment Boards.
    Since 2001, CFBCI has worked with ETA to provide $22.1 million in 
grants to assist states, intermediary organizations and grassroots 
groups in creating partnerships between FBCOs and the One-Stop Career 
Center System. In addition to grants, CFBCI has undertaken technical 
assistance activities that are designed to help FBCOs access and 
partner with the $15 billion state and local workforce development 
system. Begun in Memphis, Tennessee, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the 
Touching Lives and Communities Pilot Program provided in-depth 
technical assistance to local alliances of FBCOs, elected officials and 
workforce development boards to remove barriers and foster partnerships 
at the local level. The report on this effort, Experiences from the 
Field: Fostering Workforce Development Partnerships with Faith-Based 
and Community Organizations, serves as the basis for a new nation-wide 
effort to encourage partnerships between FBCOs and Workforce Investment 
Boards called the Touching Lives and Communities Technical Assistance 
Program (TLC-TAP). Additionally, CFBCI produced Bridging the Gap: 
Meeting the Challenges of Universal Access Through Faith-Based and 
Community Partnerships, which highlights strategies by 2002 State and 
Intermediary grantees to help job seekers access services through 
grassroots faith-based and community organizations. CFBCI also has 
created Empowering New Partnerships: Faith-Based and Community 
Initiatives in the Workforce System, which provides an overview of 
basic strategies for engaging grassroots organizations in the workforce 
system.
    Through TLC-TAP, the CFBCI and ETA are creating a peer-to-peer 
learning network, publishing tool kits and other resource materials and 
hosting national conference calls on topics related to the initiative. 
For more resources, please visit the CFBCI Web site, http://www.dol.gov/cfbci as well as the TLC-TAP Web site, http://www.nawb.org/fbci.

B. Project Objectives

    The Grantee(s) will implement, in partnership with USDOL, a project 
designed to meet the following objectives:
     Create new sustainable, financial and non-
financial relationships with grassroots FBCOs and other partners that 
help individuals in targeted area transition to industries/careers that 
are growing locally and can offer strong career opportunities. Local 
intermediary organizations can be effective partners in building FBCO 
collaboratives when they have preexisting relationships with grassroots 
organizations.
     Identify specific census tract(s) 
(neighborhoods) with high unemployment rates and current and potential 
FBCO resources in those neighborhoods (resource map) to help hard-to-
serve individuals prepare for and sustain employment. For example, the 
WIB may look for areas designated as Enterprise Communities or 
Empowerment Zones.
     Obtain commitments from up to three businesses 
or business sectors to

[[Page 18127]]

collaborate with the local Board, One-Stop system, and FBCOs to provide 
a number of jobs with long-term career opportunities and hire qualified 
employees from the identified disadvantaged neighborhoods. Businesses 
may include corporations or small-medium sized businesses, that are 
independently owned and operated and not dominant in their field of 
operation.
     Increase the capacity of the grassroots 
organizations to provide services and manage government grant dollars.
     Establish mechanisms to document the number of 
individuals from the identified high unemployment area(s) who are 
currently being served by One-Stop and demonstrate how this grant will 
increase the number of individuals using services and becoming 
employed.
    Through this grant investment of $5.5 million, the Department 
intends to help approximately 2,000 people obtain or advance in 
employment.

C. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates

    Announcement of this award is expected to occur by June 30, 2004.

D. Funding Availability and Period of Performance

    ETA has identified $5.5 million from the FY 2004 appropriation for 
One Stop/America's Labor Market Information System. ETA expects to 
award approximately 10 to 20 grants based on the rating of applications 
and other factors, which may include urban/rural and geographical 
balance. The grant amount for each WIB is expected to range between 
$300,000-$500,000. The period of performance will be approximately 18 
months from the date of execution by the Department. The grant funds 
will be available for expenditure until June 30, 2006.

II. Eligibility Information

A. Eligible Applicants

    Workforce Investment Boards (WIB) from all geographic areas are 
eligible to apply for these funds including:
     The state Workforce Investment Board;
     A local Workforce Investment Board; or
     Consortia of local (including rural) Workforce 
Investment Boards.
    The WIB is expected to issue substantial subawards to eligible 
grassroots organizations. For purposes of this announcement, eligible 
grassroots organizations must be non-profits which:
     Have social services as a major part of their 
mission;
     Are headquartered in the local community to 
which they provide these services;
     (a) Have a annual social services budget of 
$350,000 or less, or (b) have 6 or fewer full-time equivalent 
employees.
    The WIB may choose also to contract with a non-profit intermediary 
or hire staff members from the targeted community who will be able to 
help the WIB conduct outreach to grassroots organizations and provide 
technical assistance to the sub-awardees. However, a majority of the 
funds should be used for sub-awarding directly to the grassroots 
organizations.
    Neutral, non-religious criteria that neither favor nor disfavor 
religion will be employed in the selection of grant recipients and must 
be employed by grantees or in the selection of sub-recipients.
    Additionally, the government is prohibited from providing direct 
financial assistance for inherently religious activity*. Therefore, as 
a general rule, subawards may not be used for religious instruction, 
worship, prayer, proselytizing or other inherently religious activities 
and participation in such activities must be voluntary. (If, however, 
an organization receives financial assistance as a result of the choice 
of a beneficiary, such as through a voucher, the organization may 
integrate religion throughout its program.

    *In this context, the term financial assistance that is provided 
directly by a government entity or an intermediate organization, as 
opposed to financial assistance that an organization receives as the 
result of the genuine and independent private choice of a 
beneficiary. In other contexts, the term ``direct'' financial 
assistance may be used to refer to financial assistance that an 
organization receives directly from the Federal government (also 
known as ``discretionary'' assistance), as opposed to assistance 
that it receives from a State or Local government (also known as 
``indirect'' or ``block'' grant assistance). The term ``direct'' has 
the former meaning throughout this SGA.

    Veterans Priority: In addition, this program is subject to the 
provisions of the ``Jobs for Veterans Act'', Pub. L. 107-288, which 
provides priority of services to veterans and certain of their spouses 
in all Department of Labor funded job training programs. Please note 
that, to obtain priority of service, a veteran or spouse must meet the 
program's eligibility requirements. Comprehensive policy guidance is 
being developed and will be issued in the near future.

Submission of Applications

    Applicants must submit one copy with an original signature and two 
additional copies of their proposal. The Statement of Work must be 
limited to 5 pages. The only attachments permitted will be agreements 
with or letters of support from local Workforce Investment Boards and/
or local One-Stop operators. The application must be double-spaced, and 
on single-sided, numbered pages. A font size of at least twelve (12) 
pitch is required with one-inch margins (top, bottom and sides.)
1. Required Contents
    There are three required sections:

 Section I--Application for Federal Assistance (SF 
424A)
 Section II--Budget Information (SF 424B)
 Section III--Technical Proposal--Statement of Work

Section I--Application for Federal Assistance

    The SF-424A is included in the announcement as Attachment A. It 
must be signed by a representative authorized by the governing body of 
the applicant to enter into grant agreement.

Section II--Budget Information

    The SF-424B is included in the announcement as Attachment B.

    Note:
    Except as specifically provided, DOL/ETA acceptance of a 
proposal and an award of federal funds to sponsor any program(s) 
does not provide a waiver of any grant requirement and/or 
procedures. For example, the OMB circulars require that an entity's 
procurement procedures must require that all procurement 
transactions must be conducted, as practical, to provide open and 
free competition. If a proposal identifies a specific entity to 
provide the services, the DOL/ETA's award does not provide the 
justification or basis to sole-source the procurement, i.e., avoid 
competition.

Section III. Technical Proposal (Statement of Work)

    The Department of Labor will screen all applications to determine 
whether required elements are present and clearly identifiable.
1. Technical Approach (Description of the proposed plan and activities 
of WIB and its sub-grantees)--40 Points

strong relationships with grassroots faith-based and community 
organizations.
    The proposal's narrative should include the following:
     Describe strategy for resource mapping 
(documenting existing and potential FBCO programs and services in the 
identified neighborhood(s) that help hard-to-serve individuals prepare 
for and sustain employment). Include plans for outreach to those 
organizations that can help the WIB address the identified community 
need(s). If applicable include how your WIB will work with intermediary 
organizations that have existing networks of grassroots organizations.
     Identify up to three businesses or business 
sectors to collaborate with the WIB, One-Stop System, FBCOs and other

Rating Criteria
     The unmet community need(s) and identified 
census tract(s) have been well documented and substantiated.
     The approaches and strategies for engaging FBCOs 
to increase employment opportunities for the target population will 
effectively maximize resources and significantly affect the targeted 
community.
     The businesses engaged through this grant will 
provide clear career ladders for the individuals served.
     The activities associated with outreach and 
identification of FBCOs and other partners eligible for sub-grant 
awards appear appropriate, reasonable and achievable within the first 
months of the grant period.

WIB, FBCOs, other partners and the local One-Stop delivery system 
during the life of the grant suggest that the grant objectives will be 
successfully met.
     The number of individuals the WIB plans to serve 
seems appropriate, ambitious and achievable within the grant period and 
represents an effective use of this financial investment. The narrative 
describes how the WIB's efforts will contribute to the overall goal of 
helping 2,000 individuals obtain or advance in employment through this 
investment.
2. Past Performance--20 Points
    This section of the narrative describes how the WIB has 
demonstrated successfully in the past the ability to form working 
partnerships with FBCOs and other partners. The narrative should 
include the following.
     Define the structure of the WIB. Narratives 
should include a description of who is represented on the workforce 
board, specifically noting what types of FBCOs are represented.

small organizations. Include past experience in developing technical 
assistance and developing other organizations' capacity for social 
service delivery, competing for grants, managing grants, and conducting 
information campaigns.
     Recent history of the WIB in working with other 
community resources like TANF, private foundations, etc., as partners 
in delivering service.
     Please identify any current barriers that exist 
that have prevented financial partnerships and non-financial 
partnership between grassroots faith-based and community organizations 
in targeted area and the One-Stop system or the Workforce Investment 
Board. Please describe what actions will be taken to address or remove 
those barriers in order to allow for sustainable partnerships. In the 
program plan, describe the strategy for including FBCOs in leadership 
and strategic planning roles in the WIB. Also, describe the role the 
Workforce Board staff, One-Stop administrator and staff will have in 
developing and discharging the plan.
     Recent history of the WIB in working with 
specific businesses or business sectors to provide employment for 
qualified individuals.
Rating Criteria
    The Department will evaluate this narrative based on the scope, 
strength, and ``record of achievement,'' and the WIB s commitment to 
addressing the barriers to partnership with FBCOs.
3. Sustainability (10 Points)
    The narrative should describe how the WIB will address issues of 
sustainability past the life of the DOL grant.
     Describe how the project will be integrated with 
other WIB inititatives.
     Describe how the WIBs will demonstrate plans for 
sustainability after the DOL funding ends. Description can include 
commitments of other resources either within the WIB (i.e., through WIB 
staff committed to the project, in kind, outreach, training dollars 
committed, surplus computers donated, etc.) or through an outside 
source (i.e. private partners, foundation, etc).
     Describe efforts, if any, to encourage the 
leveraging of state discretionary funds to support the project.
Rating Criteria
     The Department will evaluate this narrative 
based on the strength and level of current commitments.
4. Evaluation (Description of evaluation criteria, measure(s), outcomes 
and reporting/tracking mechanisms for both WIB and sub-grantees)--30 
Points
    The narrative should define specifically how the WIB will determine 
the grant's success based on USDOL guidelines. The narrative should 
include how the WIB plans to contribute proportionately to the broad 
goals of the grant investment of helping 2000 individuals obtain or 
advance employment. The narrative should include the following.
     Define the measurable outcomes and other goals 
for both the WIB and its sub-recipients in executing the proposed tasks 
and activities. In addition to any goals the WIB defines, the WIB 
should include goals for how many individuals will enter employment, 
percent of retention over a defined period of time defined by the WIB, 
and increase in wages (advance in employment) through this grant 
investment. WIB is free to develop additional goals for the increase in 
literacy and numeracy or entrance into higher education or attainment 
of GED or educational or training certificate.
     Describe the methodology for how the WIB will 
support the subawardees to track and report outcomes for those assisted 
under the sub-awards and what responsibilities for tracking will be 
shared by the One-Stop Career Centers.
     Define how the WIB will determine its overall 
success in improving the posture of the sub-recipients in increasing 
their administrative capacity to remain active in local workforce 
development and compete for future funding opportunities.
Rating Criteria
     Are the goals and objectives, and the plans and 
procedures for achieving them, innovative, worthwhile, achievable and 
measurable?
     Are the methods and activities to achieve the 
objectives adequately described?
