On December 17, 2024, Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 9-24, Updated National Dislocated Worker Grant Program Guidance and Application Information, rescinded and replaced TEGL 4-18 which announced the National Health Emergency Disaster Recovery Dislocated Worker Grants (NHE DWGs) to help communities respond to the opioid crisis. Communities may continue to apply for funds to respond to the opioid crisis according to TEGL 9-24.
The National Health Emergency Disaster Recovery Dislocated Workers Grants (DWG) created temporary employment opportunities aimed at alleviating humanitarian and other needs created by the opioid crisis. These funds also provided services to reintegrate workers affected by the crisis and train individuals to work in mental health treatment, addiction treatment, and pain management.
