8 Executive Summary SEMCOG s Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments identifies grants and other resources available to communities, including housing and neighborhood stabilization, community revitalization, and economic development. It provides a brief overview of key formula and competitive grants available to local communities from federal and state agencies generally associated with community and economic development. These include the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Economic Development Administration (EDA) at the federal level, and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) at the state level. The report also includes a limited number of technical assistance programs that support community and economic development. The objective of this guide is to provide a resource to communities to implement a neighborhood revitalization initiative or address a specific community or economic need. The programs range from assistance with housing, mixed-use development, downtowns, infrastructure, brownfields, regional economic strategies, planning, and creating places where people want to live. Programs such as the MIplace or Michigan Main Street help to create vibrant communities that are particularly attractive to college-educated millennials. The guide also includes information on workforce development programs administered by the Michigan Workforce Development Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency. Workforce training programs are important because of their impact on raising the talent pool essential to economic growth in a global economy. A skilled workforce is important to local governments for several reasons even if they are not the main recipients of the training grants. A working population supports stable neighborhoods through increased home ownership, higher levels of home maintenance, and contribution to local tax revenues, as well as helping to build the general economy. Providing access to training for hard-to-serve populations such as ex-offenders and disconnected youth is particularly important to building safe communities. The guide provides an overview of various programs, including funding available, eligible entities, funding window, and contact information for each program, wherever possible. However, detailed or more specific information should be obtained from the contact persons identified or agency Web sites. Each agency and program has its own rules. Some programs are administered on an annual basis while others are reviewed as submitted. Annual programs may have a limited application deadline yet require considerable data. If there are annual programs that are of interest to communities, it may be worth reviewing guidelines for previous years to begin preparing background information. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is a major source of funding to local governments, directly related to community development. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program both formula and competitive provides communities with approximately $115 million per year. Appendix A, B, and C identify eligibility for CDBG-funded programs in Southeast Michigan both directly from HUD or by state programs administered by MSHDA and MEDC. Appendix D and E provide information on contact persons at MSHDA and MEDC for Southeast Michigan communities. Appendix F provides contact information for Brownfield Redevelopment Authorities in Southeast Michigan; Appendix G provides information on the six Michigan Works Agencies for the region. Appendix H is a list of valuable resources for grants, Web sites for grantor agencies, and data sources that may help develop a more competitive grant application. 1 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

9 The guide also provides definitions of terms commonly used in community development particularly for HUD programs. SEMCOG also has a number of additional resources for local governments for revitalization purposes. These include SEMCOG s Creating Successful Corridors Toolkit, which provides a more comprehensive resource on tools for redevelopment, and the Grants page on SEMCOG s Web site which provides timely information on various grants available to local governments. Many federal grant programs are subject to Regional Review. As the Single Point of Contact for the Federal Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs in Michigan, SEMCOG is charged with reviewing and consulting with communities impacted by any proposed projects. Communities should check requirements for their programs at Calvin Johnson at SEMCOG can provide additional information. Applications to the Economic Development Administration should reference the regional Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). In addition, as a HUD Regional Sustainable Communities grantee, SEMCOG is also able to offer additional points for some grant programs serving the region. For more information about any of these programs, contact SEMCOG s Information Officer at infocenter@semcog.org. 2 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

10 Definitions Affordable housing In general, housing for which the occupant(s) is/are paying no more than 30 percent of his or her income for gross housing costs, including utilities. Please note that some jurisdictions may define affordable housing based on other, locally determined criteria, and that this definition is intended solely as an approximate guideline or general rule of thumb. Source: Area median income The area median income (AMI) divides the income distribution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases falling below the median income and one-half above the median. HUD uses the median income for families in metropolitan and non- metropolitan areas to calculate income limits for eligibility in a variety of housing programs. HUD estimates the median family income for an area in the current year and adjusts that amount for different family sizes so that family incomes may be expressed as a percentage of the area median income. Source: Blighted Structure A structure is blighted when it exhibits objectively determinable signs of deterioration sufficient to constitute a threat to human health, safety, and public welfare.

Certified CHDOs receive certification from a participating jurisdiction (PJ) indicating they meet certain HOME Program requirements and, therefore, are eligible for HOME funding. Source: b/chdo HOME Investment Partnership Program HOME provides formula grants to states and localities that communities use often in partnership with local nonprofit groups to fund a wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing for rent or homeownership; or provide direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.

Source: Low and moderate income communities/individuals (LMI) Low and moderate income communities have income below 80 percent of the area median income, which is defined as the metropolitan median income for urban areas and state median income for rural areas. For some housing programs, there are requirements to reserve units for households that meet LMI levels. Moderate income is considered 80 percent of area median income (AMI), low income is 50 percent, and extremely low income is 30 percent.

These services address specific problems and are intended to assist with immediate resolution of a given problem or set of problems. Several programs in this guide are technical assistance programs. Source: TIF (Tax Increment Financing) Tax increment financing is a method of financing public costs associated with development and redevelopment projects. TIF occurs when a local government freezes the tax base within a specific development to finance selected improvements within the district. The term tax increment refers to the additional taxes that will result from private development. The increment is earmarked or captured for the TIF or to other taxing units that otherwise would receive revenues.

13 Formula Grants U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Formula Grants Purpose: CDBG is one of the most flexible federal programs for community revitalization, neighborhood improvements, and expansion of economic opportunities as defined by the local community. Each community decides on its own priorities (from the list of eligible activities) through a community planning and public participation process. Funding Available: Federal appropriations for CDBG have continued to decline over the last few years. In 2013, formula grants to Michigan were $115 million, down from $141 million in Appendix C is a list of CDBG allocations to Southeast Michigan entitlement communities from Eligible Entities: CDBG is distributed by formula to general units of local governments (known as entitlement communities) and states across the country. The formula is based on several measures of community need, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas. Entitlement grantees include large communities, principal cities, and urban counties. The CDBG Entitlement Communities formula program provides funding to the state and 44 communities and urban counties in Michigan, including 25 in Southeast Michigan. A complete list of CDBG entitlement communities for Southeast Michigan, including contact information, can be found in Appendix A. Communities not listed are administered by the Urban County Program or State of Michigan. See Appendix B for a list of non-entitlement communities. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: CDBG projects must meet at least one of the following national objectives: benefit low-to-moderate-income individuals; assist in eliminating or preventing blight; or address urgent needs that threaten the health or welfare of the community. In addition, each entitlement community must develop a Consolidated Plan every five years that identifies priorities for the community. Main uses of CDBG in Southeast Michigan include housing rehabilitation, construction of public facilities, and infrastructure improvements. See HUD s Web site for additional information. Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Purpose: Provides grants by formula to states, metropolitan cities, urban counties, and U.S. territories for eligible activities, generally including essential services related to emergency shelter, rehabilitation and conversion of buildings to be used as emergency shelters, operation of emergency shelters, and homelessness prevention services. Emergency Solutions Grants replaced the former Emergency Shelter Grants in Funding Available: In FY2013, the ESG program was funded at $215 million, a 14 percent reduction from 2012, when it was funded at $250 million. The State of Michigan received $8.1 million in 2013, including $3.4 million to counties and large cities in the SEMCOG region. Southeast Michigan 6 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

14 communities receiving ESG allocations directly from HUD are Detroit, Dearborn, Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, and Washtenaw County. Eligible Entities: States, counties, and metropolitan cities. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: The ESG program provides funding to: (1) engage homeless individuals and families living on the street; (2) improve the number and quality of emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families; (3) help operate these shelters; (4) provide essential services to shelter residents, (5) rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families, and (6) prevent families and individuals from becoming homeless. See for more information. HOME Formula Grants Purpose: HOME is a federal formula block grant, used by states and certain localities to provide affordable housing to low-and-moderate-income households. Funds are to be used for a variety of homeownership and rental activities. In general, all HOME money must benefit people with low-ormoderate incomes, rents must be affordable, and units must remain affordable for a set period of time. Funding Available: Federal appropriations for HOME formula grants have declined over the last 10 years. In 2010, Michigan received over $51 million; by 2013, it was $28.6 million. Eligible Entities: Recipients of HOME formula grants are known as Participating Jurisdictions (PJ). Participating jurisdictions include large communities, principal cities, and urban counties. The HOME Investment Partnership Program formula program provides funding to the state and 19 communities and urban counties in Michigan, including eight in Southeast Michigan. A formula based on six factors reflecting measures of poverty and the condition and supply of the rental housing stock determines which local jurisdictions are PJs. Jurisdictions that do not meet the formula s threshold can get together with neighboring jurisdictions to form a consortium in order to get HOME funding. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: Participating jurisdictions may choose among a broad range of eligible activities, using HOME funds to provide home purchase or rehabilitation financing assistance to eligible homeowners and new homebuyers; build or rehabilitate housing for rent or ownership; or for other reasonable and necessary expenses related to the development of non-luxury housing, including site acquisition or improvement, demolition of dilapidated housing to make way for HOME-assisted development, and payment of relocation expenses. The HOME program is designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development, including the flexibility to empower people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities; technical assistance activities and set-aside for qualified community-based nonprofit housing groups builds the capacity of these partners; and the requirement that participating jurisdictions match 25 cents of every dollar in program funds mobilizes community resources in support of affordable housing. See HUD s Web site for additional information. Project-Based Rental Assistance (Section 8 Program) Purpose: Provides rental subsidies for eligible tenant families (including single persons) residing in newly constructed, rehabilitated, and existing rental and cooperative apartment projects. Under the 7 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

15 program, HUD enters into contracts with property owners to provide rental assistance for a fixed period of time for low-income families. Project-based Section 8 assistance may be provided only for tenants with incomes no greater than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI); tenants generally pay rent equal to 30 percent of adjusted household income. Funding Available: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. In 2012, $9.3 billion was provided for project-based rental assistance nationwide. Eligible Entities: Public Housing Authorities administer the Section 8 Program. Households eligible for Section 8 assistance must be low-income meaning that its income may not exceed 80 percent of the local median income in order to move into Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance housing. Also, at least 40 percent of the assisted units in each development that become available annually must go to families with extremely low incomes (no greater than 30 percent of the local median). Most of the remaining units are restricted to families with incomes not above half of the local median income. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Project-Based Rental Assistance. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: Project-Based Section 8 Assistance may be provided only for tenants with incomes no greater than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI) and tenants generally pay rent equal to 30 percent of adjusted household income. More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Public Housing Capital Fund Purpose: Public Housing Capital Funds are provided annually via formula to public housing authorities (PHAs). Capital Fund grants may be used for developing, financing, modernizing, and managing public housing improvements. Jurisdictions can use this funding source to ensure that new affordable units are located within districts that have transportation options and/or are close to job centers if this is identified in regional and local plans. Funding Available: Funds are allocated based on the number of units Public Housing Authorities own and their needs. In 2013, $30 million in Public Housing Capital Funds were distributed through formula in Michigan. Thirty-six housing commissions in the SEMCOG region were allocated a total of $16 million in Eligible Entities: Public Housing Authorities. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: On October 24, 2013, HUD published the Public Housing Capital Fund Program Final Rule which combines the Capital Fund requirements for modernization and development into a single regulation. It also updates and streamlines many of the Capital Fund and development requirements, incorporates recent energy requirements, and directs more funding towards modernization. This rule, along with a new Capital Fund guidebook (currently under development, expected to be available in the Spring 2014), will ensure that the Capital Fund Program is more efficiently and uniformly implemented by PHAs and managed more effectively by the HUD Field Offices. More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Tenant Based Rental Assistance (Housing Choice Vouchers) Purpose: To assist households with the lowest incomes afford housing in the private housing market by paying landlords the difference between what a household can afford to pay in rent and the rent itself (within guidelines). The Housing Choice Voucher program is HUD s largest rental assistance program, 8 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

16 assisting more than 2.1 million households. Housing vouchers are portable, meaning families can use them to move nearly anywhere in the country where there is a functioning voucher program; their use is not limited to the jurisdiction of the administering agency. A local Public Housing Authority (PHA) is permitted to impose some restrictions on portability in the first year if a family did not live in the jurisdiction of the PHA when it applied for assistance. Funding Available: Funding provided by Congress is distributed to these agencies by HUD, based on the number of vouchers in use in the last year, the cost of vouchers, an increase for inflation, as well as other adjustments. Funding for voucher administrative fees has been sharply cut since These funding cuts could result in PHAs issuing turnover vouchers at a slower rate. Over time, this could result in the loss of vouchers by attrition. Attrition happens when a PHA cannot afford to issue a voucher to the next family on its waiting list; the voucher sits unused, and the family remains unassisted. Eligible Entities: Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing authorities (PHAs). The PHAs receive federal funds from HUD to administer the voucher program. The PHA administers the voucher program locally. The PHA provides a family with the housing assistance that enables the family to seek out suitable housing; the PHA enters into a contract with the landlord to provide housing assistance payments on behalf of the family. If the landlord fails to meet the owner's obligations under the lease, the PHA has the right to terminate assistance payments. The PHA must reexamine the family's income and composition at least annually and must inspect each unit at least annually to ensure that it meets minimum housing quality standards. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: Nearly half of voucher households are headed by a person who is elderly or has disabilities; 51 percent of voucher households have minor children; about a fifth of these families with children are headed by a person who is elderly or has disabilities. Housing vouchers are one of the major federal programs intended to bridge the gap between the cost of housing and the incomes of low-wage earners, people on limited fixed incomes, and other poor people. The Housing Choice Voucher program provides flexibility and options by issuing vouchers to eligible households to help them pay rent in privately owned apartments of the households choosing, and allowing public housing authorities (PHAs) to attach a portion of their vouchers to particular properties (project-based vouchers), or to help families buy homes. The national average income of a voucher household in 2011 was $12,549.

17 State and Federal Competitive Grants This section includes grants from federal and state departments for community and economic development. They are competitive grants arranged by funding agency. Some are annual programs, while others have different timetables. Not all are currently available. Contact information for program administrators and websites for additional information are provided wherever possible. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (formerly HOPE VI) Purpose: The Choice Neighborhoods program supports locally driven strategies to address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation. Local leaders, residents, and stakeholders, such as public housing authorities, cities, schools, police, business owners, nonprofits, and private developers come together to create and implement a plan that transforms distressed HUD housing, and addresses the challenges in the surrounding neighborhood. The program is designed to catalyze critical improvements in neighborhood assets, including vacant property, housing, services, and schools. There are two types of grants under the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Planning Grants and Implementation Grants. Planning Grants support development of comprehensive neighborhood revitalization plans which focus on directing resources to address three core goals: housing, people, and neighborhoods. To achieve these core goals, communities must develop and implement a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy, or Transformation Plan. The Transformation Plan will become the guiding document for revitalizing public and/or assisted housing units, while simultaneously directing the transformation of the surrounding neighborhood and positive outcomes for families. Implementation Grants support those communities that have undergone a comprehensive local planning process and are ready to implement their Transformation Plan to redevelop the neighborhood. Funding Available: In FY2013, HUD allocated $4 million for Choice Neighborhoods Planning Grants. Individual grants can be up to a maximum of $500,000. HUD allocated $109 million for Choice Implementation Grants. Eligible Entities: Eligible applicants are public housing authorities (PHAs), local governments, nonprofits, tribal entities, and for-profit developers that apply jointly with a public entity. Funding Window: Annually, based upon Congressional appropriations. Generally, notice of funding available (NOFAs) are issued in the first quarter of the year. Funding Agency: HUD. Additional Information: Choice Neighborhoods is focused on three core goals: 1. Housing: Replace distressed public and assisted housing with high-quality, mixed-income housing that is well-managed and responsive to the needs of the surrounding neighborhood; 2. People: Improve educational outcomes and intergenerational mobility for youth with services and supports delivered directly to youth and their families; and 10 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

18 3. Neighborhood: Create the conditions necessary for public and private reinvestment in distressed neighborhoods to offer the kinds of amenities and assets, including safety, good schools, and commercial activity, that are important to families choices about their community. More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Contact Information for Grants: Contact SEMCOG for additional information on Choice Neighborhood Initiative. Community Challenge Planning Grants Purpose: Community Challenge Planning Grant Program fosters reform and reduces barriers to achieving affordable, economically vital, and sustainable communities. Such efforts may include amending or replacing local master plans, zoning codes, and building codes, either on a jurisdiction-wide basis or in a specific neighborhood, district, corridor, or sector to promote mixed-use development, affordable housing, the reuse of older buildings and structures for new purposes, and similar activities with the goal of promoting sustainability at the local or neighborhood level. This program also supports development of affordable housing through development and adoption of inclusionary zoning ordinances and other activities to support plan implementation. Funding Available: In FY2011, HUD awarded $28.6 million Community Challenge Planning Grants. Funding for this program has not been renewed by Congress the last two years. Future funds are dependent on Congressional appropriation. Eligible Entities: State and local governments, including U.S. territories, tribal governments, political subdivisions of State or local governments, and multi-state or multijurisdictional groupings. Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Additional Information: The minimum award size is $100,000 and the maximum award size is $3 million. Applicants must provide 20 percent of the requested funding amount in match in the form of cash and/or verified in-kind contributions or a combination of these sources. More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Purpose: The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and state and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families. It is designed to minimize the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Funding Available: In FY2012, there was approximately $1.61 billion available for the CoC Program. Eligible Entities: Applicants in a community, including local governments, nonprofit providers, advocates, homeless people, and other stakeholders organize into a Continuum of Care and submit a joint application to HUD for all of their project requests. The entire application is scored, and specific projects are funded in the order that they are prioritized in the application. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Additional Information: More information can be found at HUD s One CPD Web site. 11 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

19 Housing for the Elderly (Section 202) Finance Program Purpose: The Section 202 program helps expand the supply of affordable housing with supportive services for the elderly. It provides very-low-income elderly with options that allow them to live independently but in an environment that provides support activities such as cleaning, cooking, transportation, etc. HUD provides interest-free capital advances to private, nonprofits to finance development of supportive housing for the elderly. The capital advance does not have to be repaid as long as the project continues to serve very-low-income elderly persons for a period of 40 years. Project rental assistance funds are provided to cover the difference between the HUD-approved operating cost for the project and the tenants' contribution towards rent. Project rental assistance contracts are approved initially for three years and are renewable based on the availability of funds. Funding Available: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Funding for the Section 202 program has declined significantly over the last few years. In 2010, it was $825 million; by 2013, it was just $375 million. Eligible Entities: Private nonprofit organizations and nonprofit consumer cooperatives that meet the threshold requirements contained in the General Section and the program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) are the only eligible applicants under this Section 202 program. Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Additional Information: More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Contact Information for Grant: Contact the Detroit HUD field office for more information. Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) Purpose: The Section 811 program allows persons with disabilities to live as independently as possible in the community by subsidizing rental housing opportunities which provide access to appropriate supportive services. The newly reformed Section 811 program is authorized to operate in two ways: (1) the traditional way by providing interest-free capital advances and operating subsidies to nonprofit developers of affordable housing for persons with disabilities; and (2) providing project rental assistance to state housing agencies. The assistance to the state housing agency can be applied to new or existing multifamily housing complexes funded through different sources, such as Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits; Federal HOME funds; and other state, federal, and local programs. Funding Available: Funding for the Section 811 program has declined by almost 50 percent in the last four years. It was $300 million in 2010 and $165 in Eligible Entities: Eligible grantees are state housing agencies that have entered into partnerships with state health and human services and Medicaid agencies, who then allocate rental assistance to projects funded by tax credits, HOME funds, or other sources. Funding Window: Grants are allocated annually as part of the Congressional budget process. Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Additional Information: More information can be found at HUD s Web site. Contact Information for Grant: Contact the Detroit s HUD field office for more information. 12 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments

27 Michigan Economic Development Corporation Each year, the State of Michigan receives approximately $30 million from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for community and economic developments projects and programs in nonentitlement areas of the state. These funds are divided between the Michigan Economic Development Authority (MEDC) and Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA). MEDC projects are focused on brownfield and downtown and redevelopment specifically in downtown areas. There are six main programs for local communities. Brownfield TIF Purpose: A Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (BRA) provides municipalities with opportunities to create local brownfield financing resources to enhance local economic development and market different sites based on private investment incentives. Any city, village, township, or county may create a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority. A county Brownfield Redevelopment Authority can include eligible property throughout the county, but with concurrence of the individual community. A Brownfield Redevelopment Authority can use Tax Increment Financing (TIF) as a tool for property redevelopment. The benefits to a local community of creating a BRA are ability to focus on existing service areas, enhance the tax base and provide reimbursement for eligible development activities. The local community develops a public input process and appoints the members of the authority. The BRA will prepare a plan that identifies eligible properties and incentives to be included. Eligible Entities: Any city, village, township, or county may create a Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.

The WDA supports a demand driven workforce system, assists the structurally unemployed with financial independence, advocates for the integration of workforce development into the K-12 school system, and supports the alignment of workforce development with economic development efforts. One of the main sources of funding for workforce development is the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). Workforce Investment Act Purpose: The Workforce Investment Act of was established in 1998 to consolidate and coordinate federal employment, training and literacy programs for youth and adults. The U.S. Department of Labor distributes funding to the States. In Michigan, the program is administered by the State Workforce Development Agency through 25 Michigan Works! agencies that represent a different geographical area of the state. The three main programs are: Adult Worker Program: Provides employment and workforce development services to adults, including low-income adults, to increase incomes through occupational and related skills acquisition. It helps prepare low-skill adult workers for good jobs through formula grants to states. States use these funds to provide a statutory level of services at the state and local levels. There are three main levels of service based on a customer s individual needs and eligibility. Dislocated Worker Program: Authorized under Title 1 of WIA to meet the complementary needs of displaced workers and employers due to plant closings or mass layoffs, making it difficult to return to their industry. Youth Program: Provides services to youth ages 14-21, who are low-income and face barriers to employment such as lacking basic skills or having a criminal record. The program helps youth explore career options and gain technical, academic, and vocational skills. Services include tutoring, alternative summer school, occupational training, mentoring, counseling, and leadership development. Funding Available: Funding is authorized by Congress each year during the appropriations process. The WIA has not been reauthorized since it was first authorized 15 years ago. There have been many attempts to update the formula to address current economic conditions, but these have not been successful to date. In 2012, the budget for the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (DOLETA) was $3.19 billion; in 2013, it was $3.2 billion. In 2012, Michigan received $37.4 million in youth, $35 million for adult, and $37.9 million for dislocated worker funding. Eligible Entities: There are six Michigan Works agencies in Southeast Michigan. Oakland County Michigan Works Detroit Employment Solutions (Formerly Detroit Workforce Development Department) Livingston County Michigan Works SEMCA (Southeast Michigan Community Alliance) representing out-wayne and Monroe County Macomb St. Clair Workforce Development Board Washtenaw Michigan Works Employment Training and Community Services More information on these agencies and links to local offices can be found in Appendix G. 30 Community and Economic Development (CED) Resource Guide for Local Governments
