LAYOFF AVERSION REIMBURSEMENT FUNDS AVAILABLE
Due to the Novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, at their meeting on April 7, 2020, the Lane County Board of Commissioners voted to authorize Lane Workforce Partnership (LWP) to re-purpose Regional Innovation Training (RIT) funds for COVID-19 layoff aversion purposes. These are funds that were previously allocated to LWP for innovation training projects. LWP would like to thank our County Commissioners for their decision to re-purpose these funds to assist Lane County Small Businesses with layoff aversion activities designed to prevent, or minimize the duration of, unemployment resulting from layoffs.
To this end, Lane Workforce Partnership will distribute Layoff Aversion Funds in Lane County with the following parameters:
- Requests must be a result of the business impact from COVID-19
- Small businesses/organizations with fewer than 20 employees
- Limited to reimbursements for supplies and/or equipment up to $5,000
