Bill > H670

This bill aims to establish an apprenticeship program to expedite the re-occupancy of vacant units of state-assisted public housing. The program, called the Brooke Public Housing Apprenticeship Program, will be developed by the Office of Housing and Economic Development and the Office of Labor and Workforce Development in consultation with various stakeholders, including local housing authorities, public housing residents, and relevant state agencies. The program will provide public housing residents with education, job skills training, job placement assistance, and long-term follow-up to help them achieve economic self-sufficiency, while also assisting public housing authorities in the painting and preparation of vacant units to make them ready for occupancy. The Office of Labor and Workforce Development is authorized to make grants to fund the apprenticeship program.
