Current Narrative:
The SWA is in the process of creating an MOU with Proteus (as the NFJP provider) as outlined in 20CFR 653.108 and TEGL 8-17 that is due February 14, 2019. Once complete and approved, we are confident the partnership will create a seamless process to better serve our MSFW population.
The SWA continues to benefit from a non-financial agreement (via an MOU) with the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) to provide pre-occupancy housing inspections for H-2A farmworkers. Since Proteus functions as the NFJP grantee their staff provides participants with current information regarding the distribution of the MSFW population in Indiana and informs MSFWs of the employment and training services SWA has to offer them. Proteus staff consists of permanent and multilingual case workers. Outreach staff are located in those areas of the State in which migrant workers are most heavily concentrated. Proteus staff continues to seek out and locate small pockets of workers in isolated areas of the State in order to increase the ability of MSFW to access core, intensive, and training services in WorkOne centers and WorkOne Express sites.
