(a) The Labor Commissioner, in consultation with the Commissioner of Social Services and the Commissioner of Mental Health and Addiction Services, shall administer a grant program, within available appropriations, to fund employment placement projects for recipients of state-administered general assistance or recipients of Medicaid who are eighteen to twenty years of age. A grant may be awarded to (1) a municipality or group of towns which form a region based on a project plan providing education, training or other assistance in securing employment, (2) a private substance abuse or mental health services provider based on a project plan incorporating job placement in the treatment process, or (3) a nonprofit organization providing employment services when no municipality or group of towns elect to apply for such a grant for a given geographic area. A plan may include cash incentives as a supplement to wages for recipients who work.
(b) In order to receive funding, a project plan shall be submitted to the commissioner no later than August first, annually. Funds shall be disbursed by the commissioner no later than September first, annually. Projects shall be funded based on the number of recipients to be served and the level of services to be provided.
