Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The purpose of the award is to strengthen the ability of eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFWs) and their dependents to obtain or retain unsubsidized employment, stabilize their employment, and achieve economic self-sufficiency. This includes upgrading employment in agriculture. Additionally, the award aims to address the critical need for safe and sanitary permanent and temporary housing for housing grant recipients. Grantees can be any entity familiar with the workforce challenges of migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Separate funding is provided by Congress for NFJP employment and training grants and NFJP housing grants. The grants run on a program year from July 1st to June 30th, and a grant competition is held every four years for state service areas.
Activities Performed
To ensure that all services are focused on the customer's needs, services are provided through a case management approach that emphasizes customer choice. These services include basic and individualized career services, training services (eligible MSFWs are not required to receive career services prior to receiving training services), youth services (as available in the WIOA Youth Program), related assistance services (such as allowance payments to help farmworkers and their family members retain their agricultural employment or participate in career or training services), and supportive services. NFJP housing grantees provide farmworkers with housing assistance, including direct payments for emergency and temporary housing. Other indirect assistance includes leveraging services to increase or maintain housing stock available to farmworkers and housing development designed to improve living conditions for underserved farmworker communities.
Deliverables
All WIOA adult funded programs require states to collect and report data to the Department of Labor (DOL) on performance measures. The targets for the states are negotiated between DOL and the states. The performance outcomes for WIOA programs include employment rate second quarter after exit, employment rate fourth quarter after exit, median earnings second quarter after exit, measurable skill gains, credential attainment rate, and effectiveness in serving employers.
Intended Beneficiary
The intended beneficiaries of the program are eligible migrant farmworkers whose agricultural labor requires travel to a job site, preventing them from returning to a permanent place of residence within the same day. Additionally, low-income seasonal farmworkers who have been primarily employed in agricultural or fish farming industries characterized by chronic unemployment or underemployment for 12 consecutive months out of the 24 months prior to applying for the program are also eligible. Eligible MSFW youth, aged 14-24, can individually qualify or be dependents of eligible MSFWs.
