The Department of Labor administers programs providing employment and
training services that are crucial components in the comprehensive efforts to
address the cycle of homelessness. The Department offers both mainstream and
targeted employment-focused programs that help lead to self-sufficiency.
The DOL strategy focuses on helping homeless Americans who want to work
or can become job-ready. DOL's objectives are to: 1) provide access to
mainstream employment assistance and services, and 2) identify skill needs in
today's workforce and address skill deficiencies of this population.
