Lori:  The Corrections department has a re-entry program named SOARS
that NMDOL used to participate in.  I seem to recall bringing that to
the WIA State Board at some point.  You may want to call Katherine Rose
at Corrections and get info from her.

I don't know of any programs but it is hard to tell since WIA funds go
out to 33 different boards.  Local areas could be spending money on this
population.

 

It is difficult to tell what Ms. Martinez is looking for - reentry
programs can encompass programs to work with prisoners in anticipation
of their release as well as helping them to assimilate after they have
returned to their communities.  Locally driven programs would not have
much incentive to work with offenders who are still incarcerated because
the prisoners will scatter once they are released (return to their home
communities).  

 

We do have a small grant from Parole to provide employment services
(counseling, job search assistance) to ex-offenders in NYC.  Elaine
Kost, who handles the federal bonding program for us, indicates that she
gets phone calls from staff asking questions on how to deal with
ex-offenders who are seeking services so I think you can assume
ex-offenders are a part of the universe of One-Stop customers, but I
don't know of any special program that is WIA-funded to specifically
deal with this population.

 

You may want to ask in WDT though.

 

The feds do have a grant program (targeted to FBOs/CBOs) targeting
prisoner re-entry (blurb attached).

Do you know if we have used such funds for prisoner reentry programs.
Based on our last discussion, I thought the feds had a grant program for
this purpose but not with us.

Has anyone out there used WIA funds - such as dislocated worker funds -
for prison/jail re-entry into the workforce programs?  If so, how did
you do it?
