DHS to receive $3.8 million to support job training.

Written by Amy Whipple

  • The Department of Human Services will have access to $3.8 million in grants from the State.
  • The 1988 job training effort by the State assists in comprehensive education, training and work services to people receiving government cash assistance (TANF) and food benefits (SNAP).
  • TANF and SNAP both have work requirements. Education and job training count toward that requirement.
  • The grant request bill also allows for the Mayor and DHS to enter into agreements with non-profit organizations, private-for-profit businesses, and various agencies related to the program’s scope.
  • In the 2023-2024 program year, 436 people in Allegheny County participated. The grant amount was the same.
