What This Bill Does
This bill directs the Department of Labor to award grants, on a competitive basis, to assist states, local governments, Indian tribes, and community-based organizations in providing subsidized summer and year-round employment opportunities to certain youth who are not younger than 14 or older than 24, including individuals who are subject to the justice system, homeless, pregnant, or parenting.
Specifically, grants must be used to support employment for eligible individuals and may be used to provide wages, provide associated support services (e.g., case management or child care), and develop data management systems to assist such programs.
The bill also requires Labor to establish performance measures and annually review the performance of each grant recipient.
