Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 10 21
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) Planning Guidance for Program Year (PY) 2022 is a Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grant action that continues funding for NFJP activities and explains how PY 2022 amounts are calculated and distributed. The opportunity is issued as ETA Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 10-21 and is categorized as a continuation grant. It supports employment, labor, and training services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families through formula-based awards, along with a separate housing component and a small discretionary set-aside.
Funding for PY 2022 comes from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022. Congress provided three main pots of money tied to NFJP: (1) $88,283,000 for formula grants, (2) $6,456,000 for migrant and seasonal farmworker housing, and (3) $657,000 for discretionary purposes. Before the main allocations are made, small amounts are reserved for program integrity, which reduces the totals actually allotted to grantees. After these set-asides, $88,160,000 is allotted for the formula grants (reflecting a $123,000 program integrity set-aside), and $6,447,000 is allotted for housing (reflecting a $9,000 program integrity set-aside). For the housing funds, Congress also required that not less than 70 percent be used for permanent housing, signaling a strong preference for longer-term housing solutions rather than short-term or temporary arrangements.
A key point in the guidance is that ETA distributes Career Services and Training funds using an administrative formula rather than a competitive process. The original formula methodology was laid out in a Federal Register notice published May 19, 1999 (64 FR 27390) and was later updated in a June 16, 2021 Federal Register notice (86 FR 32063). Because changes to a long-standing formula can create significant year-to-year swings in funding for specific state service areas, ETA includes “hold-harmless” provisions (often described as stop loss/stop gain limits) to smooth the transition to the updated formula results. These provisions are intended to prevent abrupt drops (or spikes) that could destabilize local service delivery and staffing.
For PY 2021, the transition policy ensured each state service area received at least 95 percent of its PY 2020 allotment percentage, applied to the PY 2021 total formula funds available. For PY 2022, that protection steps down: each state service area will receive at least 90 percent of its PY 2021 allotment percentage, applied to the PY 2022 total formula funds available. In practical terms, this means the updated formula continues to be phased in, but with a slightly wider band for movement than the prior year, allowing ETA to gradually align allotments with the new formula while still limiting sudden funding losses.
The housing portion of NFJP is handled differently from the career services and training formula funds. Rather than being recalculated through the same formula process, ETA indicates it will issue individual housing grant awards based on the results of the 2020 grant competition. That implies housing awards in PY 2022 are tied to previously selected applicants and project decisions made through that earlier competitive process, with current-year funding levels reflecting the appropriations and set-asides described above.
Administrative details included in the source data show this opportunity was created May 17, 2022, with an application receipt deadline of May 31, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The assistance listing (CFDA) number is 17.264. The expected number of awards is 68, and the listed award ceiling is $7,503,607, reflecting that while the program is formula-driven overall, individual grant amounts can vary widely by service area and the formula’s distribution outcomes. Eligibility is identified broadly as “Others,” with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section (not provided in the excerpt), which is typical for NFJP because ETA commonly funds designated organizations to serve specific geographic service areas rather than opening a wide competition every year.
Overall, this PY 2022 planning guidance is mainly about how much money is available, how it is split across formula grants, housing, and discretionary funding, and how ETA will calculate and stabilize state service area allotments during the transition to the updated formula methodology. The most operationally important takeaway for existing grantees is the shift in the hold-harmless floor from 95 percent (PY 2021) to 90 percent (PY 2022) of the prior year’s allotment percentage, which slightly increases the potential for redistribution while still cushioning the impact of the formula update.Apply for ETA TEGL 10 21
