Base rapid response funds are being increased by $200,000 to each LWDA to facilitate further capacity building to meet the needs of the communities served through each LWDA and provide immediate access to LWDAs to plan and conduct rapid response events. This should assist with addressing the concern raised at the September 2023 Workforce Arizona Council meeting regarding LWDAs access to rapid response funds.” With this funding allocation change, WIOA funding consists of the following Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) #17.258 (Adult $4,331,066), ALN #17.278 (Dislocated Worker $5,545,694 and Rapid Response $300,000), and ALN #17.259 (Youth $4,638,719) as authorized by a U.S. Department of Labor.
