The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is announcing the availability of webinars and office hours to share information and address questions about the Farm Labor Stabilization and Protection Pilot Program (FLSP).

This competitive grant pilot program provides up to $65 million funding support to agricultural employers for implementing robust labor standards to promote a safe, healthy work environment for both U.S. workers and workers hired from Northern Central American countries under the seasonal H-2A visa program. The purpose of the FLSP program is to improve food and agricultural supply chain resiliency by addressing challenges agricultural employers face with labor shortages and instability.

USDA recommends all interested applicants register for at least one of the scheduled FLSP webinars to better understand the basic program requirements, eligibility, and key components that impact an applicant’s award level and competitiveness. In addition, some webinars target populations that may face unique challenges in accessing the grant or participating in the H-2A program for the first time.
