The Pathway Home 6 grants aim to provide eligible incarcerated individuals with workforce services prior to release and continue services after release by transitioning participants into reentry programs in their target communities. The purpose of this program is to eliminate the time gap between release from prison and enrollment into a workforce development reentry program, leading to skills-based employment and reducing recidivism. Applicants must ensure that occupational training provided has no federal, state, or local regulations that restrict individuals with criminal history records from obtaining licenses or other necessary credentials in that career. Key aspects of the program include: • Providing reentry programming to eligible, incarcerated individuals prior to release from state correctional facilities or county or local jails • Continuing comprehensive services after release • Partnering with employers, unions, or other industry organizations to provide employment, work experience, onsite job-related mentoring, and training to participants • Targeting employers and outreach strategy to increase employment opportunities for participants post-release • Providing supportive services, such as childcare, transportation, food, mental health counseling, and more, to contribute to participants completing programs.
