WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a one-time demonstration grant award of $3,224,509 to 14 community service organizations to improve services to low-income older workers through the Senior Community Service Employment Program.

"The federal grants we're announcing today will help these individuals overcome challenges in re-entering the workforce and attaining economic stability."
