The bill proposes an appropriation of $1,500,000 for each of the fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the workforce development fund to support a grant for Mind the G.A.P.P. (Gaining Assistance to Prosperity Program). The purpose of this funding is to enhance the quality of life for unemployed and underemployed individuals by improving their employment outcomes and developing their individual earnings potential.
This appropriation is designated as a one-time funding initiative, and any unencumbered balance remaining at the end of the first year will not cancel but will be available for use in the second year.
