The U.S. Department of Labor is distributing a $7.7 million National Emergency Grant increment that is to be used to continue funding about 700 temporary jobs for eligible dislocated workers to assist with ongoing cleanup and recovery efforts after severe storms and floods hit southeastern Ohio between April 4 and May 15, 2011.
The grant, which is awarded to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, is to be used to assist the 15 counties: Athens, Belmont, Gallia, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington.
"Southeastern Ohioans are still recovering from the damage inflicted by the severe storms and floods of the spring of 2011," says Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The additional federal funding announced today will provide much needed assistance, so residents can rebuild their lives and communities and, at the same time, offer jobs to those in need of employment."
