Refugee Resettlement Program: Proposed Allocations to States of 
FY 1997 Funds for Refugee Social Services

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), ACF, DHHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed allocations to States of FY 1997 funds for 
refugee\1\ social services.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In addition to persons who meet all requirements of 45 CFR 
400.43, ``Requirements for documentation of refugee status,'' 
eligibility for refugee social services also includes: (1) Cuban and 
Haitian entrants, under section 501 of the Refugee Education 
Assistance Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-422); (2) certain Amerasians from 
Vietnam who are admitted to the U.S. as immigrants under section 584 
of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 1988, as included in the FY 1988 Continuing 
Resolution (Pub. L. 100-202); and (3) certain Amerasians from 
Vietnam, including U.S. citizens, under title II of the Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations 
Acts, 1989 (Pub. L. 100-461), 1990 (Pub. L. 101-167), and 1991 (Pub. 
L. 101-513). For convenience, the term ``refugee'' is used in this 
notice to encompass all such eligible persons unless the specific 
context indicates otherwise.
    Refugees admitted to the U.S. under admissions numbers set aside 
for private-sector-initiative admissions are not eligible to be 
served under the social service program (or under other programs 
supported by Federal refugee funds) during their period of coverage 
under their sponsoring agency's agreement with the Department of 
State--usually two years from their date of arrival or until they 
obtain permanent resident alien status, whichever comes first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice establishes the proposed allocations to States of 
FY 1997 funds for social services under the Refugee Resettlement 
Program (RRP). In the final notice, allocation amounts could be 
adjusted slightly based on final adjustments in FY 1996 arrivals in 
some States. This notice reflects the decision by Congress to move the 
$19,000,000 Cuban and Haitian entrant set-aside from targeted 
assistance to social services. In addition, Congress provided for 
$11,079,000 under social services for increased support to communities 
with large concentrations of refugees whose cultural differences make 
assimilation especially difficult.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments on the proposed allocations contained in this 
notice must be received by May 2, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Address written comments, in duplicate, to:
    Toyo Biddle, Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for 
Children and Families, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W., Washington, D.C.

Refugee Self-Sufficiency, (202) 401-9250.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Amounts For Allocation

    The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has available $110,882,000 
in FY 1997 refugee social service funds as part of the FY 1997 
appropriation for the Department of Health and Human Services (Pub. L. 
104-208).
    The FY 1997 House Appropriations Committee Report (H.R. Rept. No. 
104-659) reads as follows with respect to social services funds:

    Funds are distributed by formula as well as through the 
discretionary grant making process for special projects. In 
addition, the Committee has transferred activities previously funded 
through the Targeted Assistance program to the Social Services 
program. The Committee agrees that $19,000,000 is available for 
assistance to serve communities affected by the Cuban and Haitian 
entrants and refugees whose arrivals in recent years have increased. 
The Committee has set-aside $11,079,000 for increased support to 
communities with large concentrations of refugees whose cultural 
differences make assimilation especially difficult justifying a more 
intense level and longer duration of Federal assistance.
    The Committee recommends that ORR give special consideration in 
allocating grant funding to applicants providing rehabilitation 
services for victims of physical and mental torture. The Committee 
requests that ORR be prepared to testify regarding its activities in 
support of victims of torture during the fiscal year 1998 budget 
hearings.

    The FY 1997 Senate Appropriations Committee Report (S. Rept. No. 
104-368) further clarifies Congress' intent regarding funding for 
services for victims of torture as follows:

    The Committee notes the recent request for proposals to provide 
mental health services to victims of torture, and recommends that 
the Office of Refugee Resettlement, to the extent possible, devote 
increased resources to that program in fiscal year 1997.

    The Conference Report on Appropriations (H. Rept. No. 104-863) 
agrees with the House and Senate Reports regarding the allocation of 
social services.
    The Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) proposes 
to use the $110,882,000 appropriated for FY 1997 social services as 
follows:
     $68,682,550 will be allocated under the 3-year population 
formula, as set forth in this notice for the purpose of providing 
employment services and other needed services to refugees.
     $12,120,450 will be used to fund continuation grants and 
new grants through various discretionary grant announcements.
     $19,000,000 will be awarded to serve communities most 
heavily affected by recent Cuban and Haitian entrant and refugee 
arrivals. These funds would be awarded under a discretionary grant 
announcement that will be issued separately setting forth application 
requirements and evaluation criteria.
     $11,079,000 will be awarded through discretionary grants 
for communities with large concentrations of refugees whose cultural 
differences make assimilation especially difficult justifying a more 
intense level and longer duration of Federal assistance. A grant 
announcement will be issued separately which sets forth application 
requirements and evaluation criteria.

Refugee Social Service Funds

    The population figures for the social services allocation include 
refugees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, and Amerasians from Vietnam since 
these populations may be served through funds addressed in this notice. 
(A State must, however, have an approved State plan for the Cuban/
Haitian Entrant Program or indicate in its refugee program State plan 
that Cuban/Haitian entrants will be served in order to use funds on 
behalf of entrants as well as refugees.)
    The Director proposes to allocate $68,682,550 to States on the 
basis of each State's proportion of the national population of refugees 
who had been in the U.S. 3 years or less as of October 1, 1996 
(including a floor amount for

[[Page 15722]]

States which have small refugee populations).
    The use of the 3-year population base in the allocation formula is 
required by section 412(c)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(INA) which states that the ``funds available for a fiscal year for 
grants and contracts (for social services) * * * shall be allocated 
among the States based on the total number of refugees (including 
children and adults) who arrived in the United States not more than 36 
months before the beginning of such fiscal year and who are actually 
residing in each State (taking into account secondary migration) as of 
the beginning of the fiscal year.''
    As established in the FY 1991 social services notice published in 
the Federal Register of August 29, 1991, section I, ``Allocation 
Amounts'' (56 FR 42745), a variable floor amount for States which have 
small refugee populations is calculated as follows: If the application 
of the regular allocation formula yields less than $100,000, then --
    (1) a base amount of $75,000 is provided for a State with a 
population of 50 or fewer refugees who have been in the U.S. 3 years or 
less; and
    (2) for a State with more than 50 refugees who have been in the 
U.S. 3 years or less: (a) A floor has been calculated consisting of 
$50,000 plus the regular per capita allocation for refugees above 50 up 
to a total of $100,000 (in other words, the maximum under the floor 
formula is $100,000); (b) if this calculation has yielded less than 
$75,000, a base amount of $75,000 is provided for the State.
    ORR has consistently supported floors for small States in order to 
provide sufficient funds to carry out a minimum service program. Given 
the range in numbers of refugees in the small States, we have concluded 
that a variable floor, as established in the FY 1991 notice, will be 
more reflective of needs than previous across-the-board floors.
    Next year ORR plans to re-examine the floor formula to determine 
whether it should be modified or eliminated in FY 1998.

Population To Be Served

    Although the allocation formula is based on the 3-year refugee 
population, in accordance with the current requirements of 45 CFR Part 
400 Subpart I--Refugee Social Services, States are not required to 
limit social service programs to refugees who have been in the U.S. 
only 3 years. However, under 45 CFR 400.152, States may not provide 
services funded by this notice, except for referral and interpreter 
services, to refugees who have been in the United States for more than 
60 months (5 years).
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.147, States are required to provide 
services to refugees in the following order of priority, except in 
certain individual extreme circumstances: (a) all newly arriving 
refugees during their first year in the U.S., who apply for services; 
(b) refugees who are receiving cash assistance; (c) unemployed refugees 
who are not receiving cash assistance; and (d) employed refugees in 
need of services to retain employment or to attain economic 
independence.
    ORR funds may not be used to provide services to United States 
citizens, since they are not covered under the authorizing legislation, 
with the following exceptions: (1) Under current regulations at 45 CFR 
400.208, services may be provided to a U.S.-born minor child in a 
family in which both parents are refugees or, if only one parent is 
present, in which that parent is a refugee; and (2) under the FY 1989 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. No. 100-461), services may be provided to 
an Amerasian from Vietnam who is a U.S. citizen and who enters the U.S. 
after October 1, 1988.

Service Priorities

    Refugee social service funding should be used to assist refugee 
families to achieve economic independence. To this end, States are 
required to ensure that a coherent family self-sufficiency plan is 
developed for each eligible family that addresses the family's needs 
from time of arrival until attainment of economic independence. (See 45 
CFR 400.79 and 400.156(g).) Each family self-sufficiency plan should 
address a family's needs for both employment-related services and other 
needed social services. The family self-sufficiency plan must include: 
(1) A determination of the income level a family would have to earn to 
exceed its cash grant and move into self-support without suffering a 
monetary penalty; (2) a strategy and timetable for obtaining that level 
of family income through the placement in employment of sufficient 
numbers of employable family members at sufficient wage levels; and (3) 
employability plans for every employable member of the family.
    Reflecting section 412(a)(1)(A)(iv) of the INA, and in keeping with 
45 CFR 400.145, States must ensure that women have the same 
opportunities as men to participate in all services funded under this 
notice, including job placement services. In addition, services must be 
provided to the maximum extent feasible in a manner that includes the 
use of bilingual/bicultural women on service agency staffs to ensure 
adequate service access by refugee women. The Director also strongly 
encourages the inclusion of refugee women in management and board 
positions in agencies that serve refugees. In order to facilitate 
refugee self-support, the Director also expects States to implement 
strategies which address simultaneously the employment potential of 
both male and female wage earners in a family unit, particularly in the 
case of large families. States are expected to make every effort to 
assure the availability of day care services for children in order to 
allow women with children the opportunity to participate in employment 
services or to accept or retain employment. To accomplish this, day 
care may be treated as a priority employment-related service under the 
refugee social services program. Refugees who are participating in 
employment services or have accepted employment are eligible for day 
care services for children. For an employed refugee, day care funded by 
refugee social service dollars should be limited to one year after the 
refugee becomes employed. States are expected to use day care funding 
from other publicly funded mainstream programs as a prior resource and 
are expected to work with service providers to assure maximum access to 
other publicly funded resources for day care.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.146, social service funds must be 
used primarily for employability services designed to enable refugees 
to obtain jobs within one year of becoming enrolled in services in 
order to achieve economic self-sufficiency as soon as possible. Social 
services may continue to be provided after a refugee has entered a job 
to help the refugee retain employment or move to a better job. Social 
service funds may not be used for long-term training programs such as 
vocational training that last for more than a year or educational 
programs that are not intended to lead to employment within a year.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.156, refugee social services must be 
provided, to the maximum extent feasible, in a manner that is 
culturally and linguistically compatible with a refugee's language and 
cultural background. In light of the increasingly diverse population of 
refugees who are resettling in this country, refugee service agencies 
will need to develop practical ways of providing culturally and 
linguistically appropriate services to a changing ethnic population.
    Services funded under this notice must be refugee-specific services 
which

[[Page 15723]]

are designed specifically to meet refugee needs and are in keeping with 
the rules and objectives of the refugee program. Vocational or job 
skills training, on-the-job training, or English language training, 
however, need not be refugee-specific.
    English language training must be provided in a concurrent, rather 
than sequential, time period with employment or with other employment-
related activities.
    When planning State refugee services, States must take into account 
the reception and placement (R & P) services provided by local 
resettlement agencies in order to utilize these resources in the 
overall program design and to ensure the provision of seamless, 
coordinated services to refugees that are not duplicative.
    In order to provide culturally and linguistically compatible 
services in as cost-efficient a manner as possible in a time of limited 
resources, ORR encourages States and counties to promote and give 
special consideration to the provision of refugee social services 
through coalitions of refugee service organizations, such as coalitions 
of mutual assistance associations (MAAs), voluntary resettlement 
agencies, or a variety of service providers. ORR believes it is 
essential for refugee-serving organizations to form close partnerships 
in the provision of services to refugees in order to be able to respond 
adequately to a changing refugee picture. Coalition-building and 
consolidation of providers is particularly important in communities 
with multiple service providers in order to ensure better coordination 
of services and maximum use of funding for services by minimizing the 
funds used for multiple administrative overhead costs.
    States should also expect to use funds available under this notice 
to pay for social services which are provided to refugees who 
participate in alternative projects. Section 412(e)(7)(A) of the INA 
provides that:

    The Secretary [of HHS] shall develop and implement alternative 
projects for refugees who have been in the United States less than 
thirty-six months, under which refugees are provided interim 
support, medical services, support [social] services, and case 
management, as needed, in a manner that encourages self-sufficiency, 
reduces welfare dependency, and fosters greater coordination among 
the resettlement agencies and service providers.

    This provision is generally known as the Wilson/Fish Amendment. The 
Department has already issued a separate notice in the Federal Register 
with respect to applications for such projects (60 FR 15766, March 27, 
1995). The notice on alternative projects does not contain provisions 
for the allocation of additional social service funds beyond the 
amounts established in this notice. Therefore a State which may wish to 
consider carrying out such a project should take note of this in 
planning its use of social service funds being allocated under the 
present notice.

Funding to MAAs

    ORR no longer provides set-aside funds to refugee mutual assistance 
associations as a separate component under the social service notice; 
instead we have folded these funds into the social service formula 
allocation to States. Elimination of the MAA set-aside, however, does 
not represent any reduction in ORR's commitment to MAAs as important 
participants in refugee resettlement. ORR believes that the continued 
and/or increased utilization of qualified refugee mutual assistance 
associations in the delivery of social services helps to ensure the 
provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services as well 
as increasing the effectiveness of the overall service system. 
Therefore, ORR expects States to use MAAs as service providers to the 
maximum extent possible. ORR strongly encourages States when 
contracting for services, including employment services, to give 
consideration to the special strengths of MAAs, whenever contract 
bidders are otherwise equally qualified, provided that the MAA has the 
capability to deliver services in a manner that is culturally and 
linguistically compatible with the background of the target population 
to be served. ORR also strongly encourages MAAs to ensure that their 
management and board composition reflect the major target populations 
to be served. ORR expects States to continue to assist MAAs in seeking 
other public and/or private funds for the provision of services to 
refugee clients.
    States may use a portion of their social service grant, either 
through contracts or through the use of State/county staff, to provide 
technical assistance and organizational training to strengthen the 
capability of MAAs to provide employment services, particularly in 
States where MAA capability is weak or undeveloped.
    ORR defines MAAs as organizations with the following 
qualifications:
    a. The organization is legally incorporated as a nonprofit 
organization; and
    b. Not less than 51% of the composition of the Board of Directors 
or governing board of the mutual assistance association is comprised of 
refugees or former refugees, including both refugee men and women.

III. Allocation Formulas

A. Allocation Formula

    Of the funds available for FY 1997 for social services, $68,682,550 
is proposed to be allocated to States in accordance with the formula 
specified below. A State's allowable allocation is calculated as 
follows:
    1. The total amount of funds determined by the Director to be 
available for this purpose; divided by--
    2. The total number of refugees and Cuban/Haitian entrants who 
arrived in the United States not more than 3 years prior to the 
beginning of the fiscal year for which the funds are appropriated and 
the number of Amerasians from Vietnam eligible for refugee social 
services, as shown by the ORR Refugee Data System. The resulting per 
capita amount will be multiplied by--
    3. The number of persons in item 2, above, in the State as of 
October 1, 1996, adjusted for estimated secondary migration.
    The calculation above yields the formula allocation for each State. 
Minimum allocations for small States are taken into account.

V. Basis of Population Estimates

    The population estimates for the proposed allocation of funds in FY 
1997 are based on data on refugee arrivals from the ORR Refugee Data 
System, adjusted as of October 1, 1996, for estimated secondary 
migration. The data base includes refugees of all nationalities, 
Amerasians from Vietnam, and Cuban and Haitian entrants.
    For fiscal year 1997, ORR's proposed formula allocations for the 
States for social services are based on the numbers of refugees and 
Amerasians who arrived, and on the numbers of entrants who arrived or 
were resettled, during the preceding three fiscal years: 1994, 1995, 
and 1996, based on final arrival data by State. Therefore, estimates 
have been developed of the numbers of refugees and entrants with 
arrival or resettlement dates between October 1, 1993, and September 
30, 1996, who are thought to be living in each State as of October 1, 
1996.
    The estimates of secondary migration were based on data submitted 
by all participating States on Form ORR-11 on secondary migrants who 
have resided in the U.S. for 36 months or less, as of September 30, 
1996. The total migration

[[Page 15724]]

reported by each State was summed, yielding in-and out-migration 
figures and a net migration figure for each State. The net migration 
figure was applied to the State's total arrival figure, resulting in a 
revised population estimate.
    Estimates were developed separately for refugees and entrants and 
then combined into a total estimated 3-year refugee/entrant population 
for each State. Eligible Amerasians are included in the refugee 
figures.
    With regard to Havana parolees, in the absence of reliable data on 
this population, we are crediting each State that received entrant 
arrivals during the 3-year period from FY 1994-FY 1996 with a prorated 
share of the 9,494 parolees reported by the INS to have come to the 
U.S. directly from Havana in FY 1996. In addition, we have credited 
each State with the same share of FY 1995 Havana parolees that they 
were credited with in the final FY 1995 social service notice. The 
proposed allocations in this notice reflect these additional parolee 
numbers.
    If a State does not agree with ORR's population estimate and wishes 
ORR to reconsider its population estimate, it should submit written 
evidence to ORR, including a list of refugees identified by name, alien 
number, date of birth, and date of arrival. Listings of refugees who 
are not identified by their alien numbers will not be considered. Such 
evidence should be submitted separately from comments on the proposed 
allocation formula no later than 30 days from the date of publication 
of this notice and should be addressed to: Loren Bussert, Office of 
Refugee Resettlement, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W., Washington, DC 
20447, Telephone: (202) 401-4732.
    Table 1, below, shows the estimated 3-year populations, as of 
October 1, 1996, of refugees (col. 1), entrants (col. 2), Havana 
parolees (col. 3); total refugee/entrant population, (col. 4); the 
proposed formula amounts which the population estimates yield (col. 5); 
and the proposed allocation amounts after allowing for the minimum 
amounts (col. 6).
    These population estimates and proposed allocation amounts are 
intended to be as close to the final figures as was possible at the 
time they were developed. However, revisions may need to be made to 
reflect final adjustments in FY 1996 arrival data in some States.

V. Proposed Allocation Amounts

    Funding will be contingent upon the submittal and approval of a 
State annual services plan that is developed on the basis of a local 
consultative process, as required by 45 CFR 400.11(b)(2) in the ORR 
regulations. The following amounts are proposed for allocation for 
refugee social services in FY 1997:
