PROGRAM CHANGES Summarize changes for the upcoming Federal fiscal year (FY) from the prior FY. Significant changes may include new initiatives, changes in funding or funding sources, policy changes, or significant changes to the number of partners or participants. Significant changes could include those made as a result of management evaluation findings or participation in program improvement initiatives, such as SNAP to Skills. It is not necessary to include changes made as a result of new Federal rulemaking. In FY 26, DHR will contract with a total of 6 (six) E&T partners, three of which will serve as intermediaries and three of which are direct E&T partners. For the intermediaries, DHR contracts with these organizations directly and they in turn contract with other organizations to deliver services and operate eligible A-RESET programs. The intermediary is the fiscal and programmatic agent for the program. Our intermediaries are the Alabama Community College System (ACCS), United Ways of Alabama (UWAL) and the Sylacauga Alliance for Family Enrichment (SAFE). Our directly contracted partners are: AIDT, Troy University, and Laine Federal Education. 27 (twenty-seven) subcontractors under SAFE, 18 (eighteen) subcontractors under UWAL, 23 (twenty-three) community colleges under ACCS, and 2 (two) partners directly contracted by DHR. Highlight any changes from above that the State agency is making to the E&T program based on the prior year’s performance, for instance changes made as a result of E&T outcome and participation data. There will be two additional centers added under the intermediary SAFE and one additional county, Cleburne County. The State will also provide a one time participant reimbursement of $300 for individuals that complete an onsite career technical/vocational training and gain a certification. This reimbursement would be issued to assist them with obtaining clothing and other items necessary for their employment. 1/27/26, 9:44 AM State Plan AL FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-alabamafy26stateplan//index.html 4/192
