This funding is designated for a grant to the Riverside Plaza Tenant Association, aimed at addressing disparities in employment, economic opportunities, and technology access for low-income individuals who are unemployed or underemployed. The grant will specifically support training programs in the health care, technology, and construction or skilled trades industries.
This appropriation is characterized as a one-time funding initiative, indicating that it is not intended to be a recurring expense in future budgets. The focus of the grant is to enhance workforce development by equipping individuals with the necessary skills to improve their employment prospects in high-demand sectors.
