For purposes of programs authorized under Title III of the bill. that is. the Workforce Investment Activities title. housing is considered to be an eligible supportive service. That is specified in the bills definition section. In Section 362 of Title III. the section dealing with migrant .and seasonal farmworker programs. a range of workforce investment activities are authorized. including employment and training assistance. The section then also authorizes further related assistance for eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers. including supportive services. For a number of years. the Labor Department has provided funding to a small number of single purpose grantees which provide an essential supportive service to farmworkers: improving their housing conditions. As S. 1186 defines supportive services to include housing and includes supportive services as eligible workforce investment related assistance for farmworkers. it seems clear to me that the bill would allow the Secretary to continue to make grants for farmworker housing.
