National Dislocated Worker Grants Program (17.277)
National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWGs) are discretionary grants awarded by the Secretary of Labor, under Section 170 of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). Disaster DWGs provide funding to create temporary employment opportunities to assist with clean-up and recovery efforts, when an area impacted by disaster is declared eligible for public assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or otherwise recognized by a federal agency with authority or jurisdiction over federal response to the emergency or disaster.
Funding is intended to temporarily expand capacity to serve dislocated workers, and meet the increased demand for WIOA employment and training services, with a purpose to reemploy laid off workers and employability and earnings.
