5945 - NATIONAL DISLOCATED WORKER GRANTS

The National Dislocated Worker Grants Program, which was previously referred to as National Emergency Grant Program, consists of federal Department of Labor funds that are used to respond to a sudden and significant dislocation of workers due to emergencies such as flooding, earthquakes, freezes, wildfires, or major business cutbacks. This authority allows the state to react immediately when the federal government makes this funding available.
