Description:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) invites the
submission of applications for funding, on a competitive basis, in three
priority areas: Priority Area 1- Preferred Communities - to promote the
increase of newly arrived refugees in preferred communities where they have
ample opportunities for early employment and sustained economic independence
and, to address special populations who need intensive case management,
culturally and linguistically appropriate linkages and coordination with
other service providers to improve their access to services; Priority Area 2
- Unanticipated Arrivals - to provide services to arriving refugees or
sudden large secondary migration of refugees where communities are not
sufficiently prepared in terms of linguistic or culturally appropriate
services; Priority Area 3 - Ethnic Community Self-Help - to connect newcomer
refugees and their communities with community
resources.
