The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance to local social services districts on the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2007-2008 Education and Training Voucher (ETV) program. This program will help youth aging out of foster care make the transition to self-sufficiency and receive the education, training and services necessary to obtain employment. For FFY 2007-2008, $2,692,620 in federal funding is available for this program in New York State. The ETV funds must be fully liquidated (spent and claimed to the federal government) by September 30, 2008. This LCM also describes the application process and selection criteria for awarding FFY 2007-2008 ETV program funds and the funding requirements.
