Bill > S4567

This bill, the Workforce Reentry Act, amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to establish a new program that provides competitive grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements to eligible entities, such as nonprofits and state/local governments, to implement reentry projects that aim to improve the employment, earnings, and skill attainment of adults and youth who have been involved with the justice system, and reduce their recidivism. The bill sets forth requirements for the use of funds, performance levels, and evaluation of the reentry projects. It also reserves funds for administration, technical assistance, and the evaluation activities.
