Important Update: Use of Updated Census Data for PY 2024 Allotments
About
WIOA Final Rule: §684.270 (b) – Each INA program grantee will receive the sum of funds calculated using the following formula:
- One-quarter of the funds available will be allocated on the basis of the number of unemployed American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian individuals in the grantee’s geographic service area(s) compared to all such unemployed persons in the United Statas;
- Three-quarters of the funds available will be allocated on the basis of the number of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian individuals in poverty in the grantee’s geographic service area(s) as compared to all such persons in poverty in the United States.
The benefits of using the updated data allows us to understand the current demographic trends, economic conditions, and other factors affecting the Native American communities. This, in turn, enables us to allocate resources more effectively and design programs that are responsive to the changing needs of our community.
Forthcoming resources will provide supplementary information on the data sources and the allotment formula.
We understand that you may have questions or concerns about this update. Therefore, we invite you to check out the funding allotment changes on the DOL DINAP Census Webpage or contact your assigned Federal Project Officer.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact your Federal Project Officer (FPO) directly.
