REO Act of 2023
The REO Act of 2023 establishes a federal Reentry Employment Opportunities Program under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. It creates grant programs to fund job training, apprenticeships, behavioral health services, and other support for three groups: eligible adults (25+), eligible young adults (18-24), and eligible youth (16-17) who have interacted with the criminal justice system or are school dropouts. Grants are awarded to qualified organizations (like nonprofits, tribes, or state agencies) to deliver services in specific geographic areas, with strict eligibility requirements tied to justice system involvement or education status. The bill also mandates a 5-year evaluation to measure the program’s impact on employment, recidivism, and participant outcomes, requiring grantees to collect and report data.
