USWA Member Survey · 2026
17 states have a workforce association responding to this funding survey (16 statewide + 1 regional LWDB in CT). USWA's full membership extends to 20 states — 12 surveyed USWA members + 3 USWA non-surveyed statewide associations (CO, NC, MD) + 2 sub-state members (IA, NV). Florida (FWDA) responded but is not a USWA member. Layered on top, Midwest Urban Strategies (a regional intermediary) supports 15 urban LWDBs across 8 Midwestern states. Some states have mixed coverage: a statewide association and MUS member cities. Diagonal hatching marks the 11 single-LWDB states (9 formally designated + 2 operating as single-board via federal waiver). Tap any state, dot, or organization name to drill in.
Coverage map
By the numbers
Surveyed states · WIOA Title I context
PY 2026 Title I allocations and average per local workforce board. The "$ per LWDB" column is useful when making the case that statewide coordination represents leverage over a much larger pool of federal dollars.
USWA member associations · not in this survey
These statewide and sub-state associations are listed on uswa.us as USWA members but did not respond to this funding survey. Including them on the map gives the full picture of where organized workforce-association coverage exists.
Midwest Urban Strategies · member organizations
MUS is a regional intermediary that supports urban LWDBs across 8 Midwestern states — independent of state-level associations. Six of the eight MUS states also have a surveyed statewide association (MI, MN, IL, WI, IN, OH), creating mixed coverage; the other two (MO, KY) have MUS coverage only.
Single-LWDB states
States where the State Workforce Development Board performs both state and local board functions — operationally one workforce area for the whole state. Per WIOA Section 106(d) and 20 CFR 679.270, this can be a formal "single-state local area" designation or operate via federal waiver. Arkansas is currently pursuing this model.
