Section 2304 · Competitive grants
Amended 1 time on record
Each eligible statewide public agency or statewide nonprofit organization desiring to receive a competitive grant under section 2303(a) of this title shall submit an application to the Secretary at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such information as the Secretary may reasonably require. Each such application shall contain assurances that the State Job Training Coordinating Council and the Governor have had an opportunity to review and comment on the application. Each applicant shall include the comments received by the applicant pursuant to such review.
In awarding grants under section 2303(a) of this title, the Secretary shall give priority to applications from statewide public agencies and statewide nonprofit organizations which—
(1) demonstrate that employment and training related services will be provided to displaced homemakers who are economically disadvantaged;
(2) provide access to a comprehensive referral system so that participants will be directed to appropriate services based on their assessed needs;
(3) demonstrate that employment and training related funds and services to be provided will be coordinated with other Federal and non-Federal programs providing education, training, or other human services;
(4) demonstrate the ability to provide appropriate transition for participants into other related programs such as adult basic education, remedial education, vocational education, and the Job Training Partnership Act [29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.]; and
(5) demonstrate experience in providing services to displaced homemakers.
The Secretary shall not award more than 1 competitive grant per State. The competition for such grants shall be conducted annually, except that when a grantee has performed satisfactorily under the terms of an existing grant agreement and the immediately preceding grant agreement, the Secretary may waive the requirement for such competition upon receipt from the grantee of a satisfactory program plan for the succeeding grant period.
