Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA ETA 20 01
The Support to Communities: Fostering Opioid Recovery Through Workforce Development is a U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) discretionary grant opportunity created under the SUPPORT Act (Public Law 115-271). The program is designed to respond to the workforce and economic damage associated with the opioid crisis by funding local, partnership-driven efforts that connect impacted individuals to employment, training, and the wraparound supports needed to succeed in the labor market.
ETA made up to $20 million available under this announcement (Funding Opportunity Number FOA-ETA-20-01; CFDA 17.277), with an expectation of awarding about 8 to 10 grants. Individual awards were planned to range from $500,000 to $5,000,000 (with a $5,000,000 award ceiling). Rather than funding isolated services, the grants emphasize coordinated local strategies where multiple organizations align their roles so participants can move from recovery or disruption into stable work and career pathways.
The eligible implementation model centers on partnerships connected to the public workforce system. The opportunity is structured so that State workforce agencies participate through “Participating Partnerships” led by local workforce development boards, and it also allows outlying areas and Tribal organizations to apply. The intent is to let these applicant groups tailor solutions to their specific communities, since the severity and workforce impacts of opioid misuse vary by region and industry. In practice, the grant is meant to support creative, locally designed service delivery that fits the needs of workers and employers in significantly impacted areas.
A core requirement of the approach is broad community engagement. Grantees are expected to bring together local workforce development boards, employers and industry groups, treatment and recovery centers, education and training providers, legal services, law enforcement organizations, and community-based and faith-based organizations. This cross-sector design reflects the reality that opioid-related unemployment and underemployment are rarely caused by a single barrier; they often involve health needs, gaps in credentials, legal or reentry challenges, unstable housing or transportation, and stigma that limits hiring. The partnerships are intended to reduce those barriers in an integrated way while also helping local employers access a more prepared and supported workforce.
The people served by the program are workers who have been impacted by substance use disorders in a broad sense. This includes dislocated workers, individuals with barriers to employment, new entrants to the workforce, and incumbent workers who are employed but underemployed. The target population explicitly includes (a) individuals personally affected by substance use disorders, meaning they themselves or their friends or family members have been directly or indirectly impacted, and (b) individuals who want to transition into occupations that support people with substance use disorders and need new or upgraded skills to better serve at-risk or struggling individuals. That second group recognizes a workforce demand angle as well: communities also need more trained workers in recovery-supporting roles, and upskilling can expand the local capacity to address the crisis.
Administratively, this opportunity was published by ETA on October 31, 2019, with an original application closing date of January 9, 2020. Applications were required to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. Overall, the program is best understood as a workforce development investment tied directly to opioid recovery outcomes, using local partnerships to combine training, career services, and supportive services so impacted workers can reenter, remain in, or advance in the labor force while communities strengthen their recovery-oriented employment ecosystems.Apply for FOA ETA 20 01
