An Act to establish an apprenticeship program to ready vacant public housing apartments for occupancy

This bill creates the Brooke Public Housing Apprenticeship program to help prepare vacant public housing units for residents. It requires the state offices of housing and labor to design a training initiative that provides job skills, education, and placement assistance specifically to public housing residents. The program aims to assist these residents in gaining economic self-sufficiency while simultaneously helping housing authorities paint and ready empty apartments for occupancy. Funding for the apprenticeships will be provided through grants authorized by the office of labor and workforce development.
