The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces the Preferred Communities (PC) Program grant. This initiative aims to facilitate the successful resettlement and self-sufficiency of especially vulnerable populations of newly and longer-term refugees. Services provided include intensive case management, culturally and linguistically appropriate linkages, and coordination with other service providers to improve access. The program encompasses a comprehensive approach with four key objectives: supporting self-sufficiency for special needs refugees, building capacity for intensive case management through affiliates, resourcing new placement capacities and community changes for optimal outcomes, and alleviating strain from unanticipated arrivals in underfunded communities. Note: The application due date was extended to June 21, 2021.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces funding for the Preferred Communities (PC) Program to support the resettlement of especially vulnerable populations of newly arrived refugees in preferred locations to facilitate their achievement of self-sufficiency. Services under the PC Program include, but are not limited to, intensive case management, culturally and linguistically appropriate linkages, and coordination with other service providers to improve these refugees’ access to services. The goal of the PC Program is the successful resettlement and integration of especially vulnerable groups of newly and longer-term refugee arrivals (and other ORR client populations). The PC Program encompasses a comprehensive approach for refugee self-sufficiency and integration with the following four objectives: 1. To facilitate the achievement of self-sufficiency of especially vulnerable refugee populations with special needs. 2. To support, through the use of pass-through funds to affiliates and implementing partners, the development of PC Programs’ capacity to assist special-needs refugee clients who require intensive case management. 3. To provide resources for PC Programs to develop new capacity for placement and to cover the costs of changing community placements so that refugees, including those with special or unique needs, are resettled in particular sites where they will have optimal chances of attaining self-sufficiency and of integrating in their new communities. 4. To alleviate the impact of increased or unanticipated arrivals in communities where state formula funds have not been allocated or are inadequate. |
