Grant to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), HHS.

ACTION: Grant Award Announcement.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an award is being made to the 
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society of New York, in the amount of $850,000 to 
further the integration and self-sufficiency of recently arrived 
refugees by implementing programs to strengthen refugee families and 
marriages and to promote responsible fatherhood. The funds provided 
will be utilized to develop programs in 10 pilot sites. The period of 
this funding will extend through September 29, 2004.
    After an appropriate review, it has been determined that the need 
for the cited services by this population is imperative and the 
applicant has over two hundred years of experience in resettling such 
refugees. The proposed activities--family strengthening programs for 
struggling refugee families--strongly support the Administration's 
defined goals. These programs reflect current social science research 
in family relationships and have a strong track record in successful 
outcomes in mainstream populations. Their extension to refugee 
populations will be a welcome addition to ORR's social services 
emphasis. No other grant program currently includes these programs.

Resettlement, Administration for Children and Families, 370 L'Enfant 
Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447, telephone (202) 401-4732.
