Native Employment Works (NEW) grantees are required to submit an annual report that includes a narrative and statistical component.  NEW program reports cover each July 1 — June 30 program year/ report period.  In each program report, grantees should cover NEW activities, services, and achievements during/for the period covered by the report, including activities, services, and achievements paid for/supported with NEW funds awarded for this program year and activities, services, and achievements paid for/supported with any NEW funds carried forward from a previous program year.

The NEW program plan is the application for NEW program funding.  As approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the plan documents how the grantee will carry out its NEW program.  HHS/ACF must approve NEW program plans and plan amendments in order for them to be in effect.

The program year (PY) for the NEW program is July 1 through June 30 of the following year.  Each NEW program plan covers a 3-year period.  ACF does not prescribe a format for NEW program plans.  The format is left to the discretion of each NEW grantee.  This program plan guidance contains instructions for preparing and submitting NEW program plans, for grantees that do not include their NEW programs in Public Law 102-477 projects.  These requirements are based on the requirements for plans in the NEW program regulations.  This document replaces previous NEW program plan guidance.
