Practitioners Guide to Supportive Services
This guide aims to assist workforce professionals quickly and accurately
locate emergency and long-term resources for workforce program
customers to gain economic stability. It includes information on rental
assistance, supports for utilities and broadband, childcare, the child tax
credit, earned income tax credit, nutrition and food security, health care
resources, and legal aid among others. Additional information on
supportive services is also available on the Department of Labor’s technical
assistance platform for workforce practitioners, at Workforce GPS.
Traditionally, workforce development practitioners are aware of, and know
how to access supportive services. This resource guide advances that list of
available resources, and includes emergency and long-term services, and
those born out of newly identified needs exposed during the pandemic.
This quick and easy guide is not an exhaustive list of available resources but
an immediate active list of current programs from the Federal or State level
to serve immediate needs. For more information, access the guide below.
