Program Year 2021 National Farmworker Jobs Program: Career Services and Training Grantees and National Farmworker Jobs Program: Housing Grantees
In accordance with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the new four-year NFJP grants went into effect on July 1, 202 0. The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is issuing this TEGL to notify NFJP grantees of PY 2021 grant allocations and to provide instructions for submitting
required documents.
Grantees must submit required documents, including program plans and budget documents, to receive funding.
NFJP allotments are based on the funds appropriated in the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116-260, enacted December 27, 2020 (from this point forward, referred to as “the Act”).
Funds to implement NFJP are appropriated in the Act.
Congress provided $87,083,000 for formula grants (of which $86,946,000 was allotted after $137,000 was set aside for program integrity), $6,256,000 for migrant and seasonal farmworker housing (of which not less than 70 percent shall be for permanent housing), and another $557,000 for discretionary purposes.
The Department will issue individual Housing grant awards based on the results of the 2020 grant competition.
Additionally, ETA is distributing funds for Housing grants according to the Act, which requires the Department to award at least 70 percent of the funds for permanent housing.
In distributing funds, ETA calculates allotments for Career Services and Training grantees through an administrative formula.
The formula’s original methodology is described in the Federal Register notice 64 FR 27390, May 19, 1999, and was revised as described in the Federal Register notice 83 FR 32151, July 11, 201 8. As explained in revisions to the methodology recently published in the Federal Register, the allotments provided in this TEGL for Career Services and Training grantees reflect hold-harmless provisions that provide for a stop loss/stop gain limit to facilitate grantees’ transition to the updated formula results.
For PY 2021, each state service area will receive an amount equal to at least 95 percent of their PY 2020 allotment percentage share, as applied to the PY 2021 formula funds available.
For additional information, refer to the Federal Register notice 86 FR 24891, May 10, 202 1.
