The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is offering the Wilson/Fish Alternative Program grant to public and private non-profit organizations, including faith-based and community groups. This grant seeks innovative proposals for providing integrated services and cash assistance to refugees. Applications are welcomed from both current Wilson/Fish program administrators and new entities. New applicants can establish or maintain refugee programs in states not participating or withdrawing from the refugee program, or propose alternatives to existing assistance systems. Projects must serve all newly arriving refugees in the specified state or geographic area eligible for RCA-type or TANF-type assistance. Statewide projects are preferred, though non-statewide proposals require justification and State Refugee Coordinator support. This grant aims to enhance refugee support.

| Description: | The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announces that applications will be accepted from public and private non-profit organizations, including faith-based and community organizations, under a discretionary announcement for Wilson/Fish projects that proposes innovative approaches to providing integrated services and cash assistance to refugees. ORR will consider proposals from: (1) applicants that currently administer a Wilson/Fish program and; (2) applicants that have never administered a Wilson/Fish program that propose to either: (a) establish or maintain a refugee program in a State where the State is not participating in the refugee program or is withdrawing from the refugee program or a portion of the program; or (b) provide an alternative to the existing system of assistance and services to refugees. Applicants must propose to serve at a minimum, all newly arriving refugees in the State or geographic area of the cash assistance type proposed, e.g., all refugees otherwise eligible for RCA and/or TANF (referred to as “RCA-type'' or “TANF-type'' refugees). ORR prefers that Wilson/Fish projects are statewide in scope. A new applicant that proposes a non-statewide Wilson/Fish alternative project must provide a justification that includes a statement of support from the State Refugee Coordinator as to why a non-statewide project would be in the best interests of the State's refugees. |
