Background: This is the first grant in California history focused on empowering young adults from Sacramento County's formerly incarcerated community. The broader OYA Career Pathway Program is funded by a $17.8 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Labor (100% federal funds). According to The White House, nearly 75% of formerly incarcerated individuals are unemployed a year after release; this program aims to bridge that gap.
