Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 19 01 A
The Reentry Projects (RP-3) - Adults funding opportunity (FOA-ETA-19-01-A) is a discretionary grant program released by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA), using funds made available through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018. The funding is authorized for ex-offender activities under Section 169 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 (CFDA 17.270). In total, ETA announced about $82.5 million to support efforts that improve employment-related reentry outcomes for formerly incarcerated people, with this specific announcement focused on adults who have been involved in the adult justice system.
The overall purpose of RP-3 is to strengthen and expand community reentry strategies by encouraging collaboration with practitioners and stakeholders to identify and address both emerging and long-standing reentry challenges. The program is designed to help communities plan and carry out comprehensive reentry initiatives that support successful transitions from incarceration back into the community, with a strong emphasis on pathways to employment, training, and related supportive services. In practical terms, the grants aim to fund projects that reduce barriers to work for returning citizens by coordinating services, improving program models, and building local capacity to deliver effective, wraparound reentry programming.
ETA structured the competition to support two broad types of applicants and award sizes. First, the Department anticipated making awards to intermediary organizations, with awards up to $4,500,000 each, for an estimated seven intermediary awards overall (with roughly one intermediary expected to propose serving adults). Second, ETA anticipated making awards to non-intermediary organizations, with awards up to $1,500,000 each, for an estimated thirty-four awards overall (with roughly twenty non-intermediary awards expected to propose serving adults). The published award ceiling for the opportunity is $4,500,000, reflecting the higher maximum amount associated with intermediary awards, and the announcement projected 21 total awards under this FOA.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants refer to the FOA's additional eligibility details for clarification. The opportunity falls under the federal activity category of Employment, Labor, and Training and is administered as a grant (not a contract), meaning ETA is funding proposed program activities that align with the FOA requirements rather than purchasing a defined deliverable in a procurement sense.
The key administrative details included an original posting date of March 25, 2019, and an application deadline of April 25, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov by the stated deadline time in Eastern Time (as written in the source text). The announcement also makes a clear distinction between adult and young adult target populations: organizations intending to serve young adults were directed to apply under a separate funding opportunity number (FOA-ETA-19-01-YA) rather than this adults-focused announcement.Apply for FOA ETA 19 01 A
