Several current and former Second Chance Act grantees were awarded funding last month from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to support workforce development, reduce recidivism, and assist people returning to communities after incarceration.
“These grants are an important step in fulfilling our promise as a land of second chances by moving beyond locking people up and instead working together to unlock their potential,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez.
