TX Young Driver Fund

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) helps young people who were in foster care transition to adulthood. They also work with local groups that help homeless people. These groups may not have a way to get around (by car or bus), which makes it hard for people to find jobs, so the government has decided to create a program to help. 

The Driver's Education Funding program will pay for driver's education classes for people who qualify, helping them learn how to drive and get a driver's license. The program will cover all the costs for training and related fees. It's a way to help more people find jobs
