Workforce Recovery and Resilience Act

The "Workforce Recovery and Resilience Act" amends current law to address the workforce and economic impacts of substance use disorders. It requires the Department of Labor to provide states and local areas with information on effective practices for tackling these impacts, including how to access relevant funding. The bill also expands the use of national dislocated worker grants to fund employment and training activities related to substance use disorder prevention and treatment in areas heavily affected by addiction. Eligible individuals for these specific grants include dislocated workers, the long-term unemployed, those impacted by widespread substance use, and individuals in healthcare professions focused on substance use treatment.
