Description
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking applications from eligible organizations to administer the Placement and Coordination (PC) program. The program aims to diversify the network of providers offering initial resettlement services (Program of Initial Resettlement, PIR) and intensive case management (ICM) for refugees and other eligible populations. New PC providers will strengthen the national resettlement framework by contributing innovative approaches and perspectives, serving as either direct service providers or coordinators of local resettlement partners. Services include airport reception, housing, benefits applications, cultural orientation, direct assistance, and ongoing case management for individuals with significant vulnerabilities.
