What it does
The Workforce Reentry Act amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to establish a grant program supporting the reentry of ex-offenders into the workforce. It authorizes competitive grants and pay-for-performance contracts to eligible entities—such as nonprofits, government agencies, employers, and educational institutions—to provide skills training, job placement, mentoring, and outreach to individuals released from prison or jail within the past two years. The bill requires matching funds from recipients, limits administrative and stipend costs, mandates performance reporting on employment and recidivism outcomes, and prioritizes programs that partner with businesses or offer training aligned with in-demand jobs.
