Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA WB 19 02
The Re-Employment Support and Training for the Opioid Related Epidemic (RESTORE) Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) designed to respond to the workforce fallout of the opioid crisis. The central purpose is to help women who have been directly or indirectly affected by opioid misuse, addiction, overdose, or the broader community-level economic disruption tied to the epidemic. Rather than focusing on treatment itself, RESTORE targets the employment and training side of recovery and stability by helping participants build job-ready skills, reconnect to the labor market, and obtain the wraparound supports that make employment more realistic and sustainable.
A key feature of this program is its emphasis on coordination and partnerships. Applicants are expected to establish new cooperative relationships or strengthen existing ones among local and regional service providers and other stakeholders. In practice, that typically means building a network that can connect participants to a mix of career services, training providers, employers, and supportive services. The program is aimed at hard-hit areas, and proposals may focus on women in communities experiencing the health and economic impacts of widespread opioid use, including places where addiction and overdose have disrupted families, reduced labor force participation, and weakened local economies.
RESTORE funds are intended to support a combination of employment training, career services, and supportive services. Employment training can include skill-building that leads to in-demand jobs, while career services can cover activities like career counseling, job readiness preparation, job search assistance, and placement support. Supportive services are included specifically to reduce common barriers to participation and retention, which is often critical for women balancing caregiving responsibilities, recovery-related needs, transportation challenges, housing instability, or other constraints that can interfere with training completion and consistent employment. The overall program goal is to improve outcomes for women participants by helping them access viable career pathways and secure employment, with supports in place to improve the chances of long-term success.
The official funding opportunity is titled "Re-Employment Support and Training for the Opioid Related Epidemic, RESTORE Grant Program" (Funding Opportunity Number FOA WB 19 02) and falls under the Employment, Labor and Training activity category (CFDA 17.700). Awards were structured with an anticipated maximum amount (award ceiling) of $500,000 per grant, and the agency expected to make 6 awards. The opportunity was posted on July 24, 2019, with an original application deadline of August 23, 2019, and applications were required to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that closing date. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that more specific eligibility details were provided in the full announcement, but are not included in the excerpted source data here.
In plain terms, RESTORE is a workforce-focused opioid response initiative: it funds localized, partnership-driven projects that train and place women into employment while also addressing the practical barriers that often stand between crisis-affected individuals and stable work.Apply for FOA WB 19 02
