A longstanding Indiana reentry program will be able to help hundreds more people through a $5 million federal grant.
Mike Braun touted over $10 million in federal grants the state has received during an event at RecycleForce in Indianapolis Wednesday.
RecycleForce is an electronic waste recycling operation that offers job training for formerly incarcerated people returning to the workforce.
The organization has been doing this work for decades and recently opened a new facility on Indianapolis’s near east side.
Through the grant, the organization aims to give training and employment opportunities to nearly 700 young adults, aged 18-24.
