    Yes, but not directly to you, they make grants to non profit and faith based groups These people will furnish various services to ex felons. This is done though 1/2 way houses ( not connected with prison system) with job training programs and more. But they are not always available in every area.

    Fr_Chuck is right again. Faith-based organizations within your community are the best resource for re-entry assistance. Here is a good example of such a program... Interfaith Coalition of Advocates for Re-entry and Employment.
    ICARE, nyicare.org

    You may want to contact them to see if they have a nation-wide database of similar services. I would also recommend you contact your local County offices and ask to speak with a crisis Social Worker. They usually know off the top of their heads what services are available in your community.

    There is no federal grants for convicted felon but there is a non profit organization called Prison Entrepreneurship Program that would help the ex felon to start a small business.
