Waivers and Alternative Requirements for the Jobs Plus Initiative Program

Since Fiscal Year 2014, Jobs Plus has provided competitive grants to partnerships between public housing authorities (PHAs), local workforce investment boards established under section 117 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and other agencies and organizations that provide support to help public housing residents obtain employment and increase earnings. On March 13, 2015, HUD published a Federal Register notice announcing waivers and alternative requirements for Jobs Plus. This notice clarifies that those waivers and alternative requirements continue to apply until HUD publishes a Federal Register notice announcing a change in Federal law that requires HUD to alter or amend this Notice on terms and conditions as to how Jobs Plus funds may be used.
