SUMMARY: Through this notice, the Department of Labor's Employment and 
Training Administration (ETA) announces the availability of 
approximately $20.6 million to serve adult ex-offenders returning to 
their communities. ETA expects to award approximately 17 grants of up 
to $1,212,000 each for 27-months, which includes up to three months for 
a planning phase and a minimum of 24 months of operation. Any non-
profit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status may apply for these 
grants to provide pre-release and post-release services to ex-offenders 
returning to high-poverty, high-crime communities. These services will 
include job training leading to credentials for in-demand industries, 
employment preparation, mentoring and assistance connecting to 
supportive services such as housing, substance abuse programs, and 
mental health treatment. Applicants must describe their community's 
need for reentry services and the degree to which reentry is an issue 
in their communities; describe their program's design to provide 
services to adult ex-offenders that will result in employment for in-
demand industries; and provide evidence of partnerships with the 
criminal justice system, local One-Stop Career Centers and other 
workforce investments programs, the local public housing authority and 
other providers of housing services, and of mental health and substance 
abuse treatment service.
