Grant Description

In order to assist agencies in providing the highest quality of services to refugees, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) awards technical assistance cooperative agreements to organizations with expertise in a particular area of refugee resettlement. These cooperative agreements are intended to assist refugee-serving agencies in their response to specific challenges or needs in refugee resettlement. ORR plans to award cooperative agreements to qualified organizations with prior experience or a demonstrated capacity to provide technical assistance to refugee-serving agencies, with the overall goal of improving the quality of services to refugees and aiding in refugees' and other ORR-eligible populations' long-term integration in the United States.
