• Department or Agency of a U.S. State Government

This grant opportunity is open to the 53 State agencies that administer SNAP.

Who Benefits

• U.S. Citizen

These matching funds provide grants to States to conduct employment and training (E&T) programs to assist SNAP participants to prepare for and find work. States use flexible SNAP E&T funding to serve lower-skilled, vulnerable adults who often have limited access to employment services or job training otherwise. SNAP E&T programs are designed to promote self-sufficiency. The E&T grants allow State agencies to choose the components that make up their unique E&T programs and meet the specific needs of their SNAP recipients, including job search and job search training; basic education or vocational training; job retention services, and other workforce opportunities.
