Announcement of the Award of a Single-Source Program Expansion 
Supplement Grant to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants in 
Arlington, VA

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, ACF, HHS.

ACTION: Announcement of the award of a single-source program expansion 
supplement to the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) to 
support expanded services to foreign trafficking victims, potential 
trafficking victims, and certain family members.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of 
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announces the award of a single-source 
program expansion supplement grant to U.S. Committee for Refugees and 
Immigrants in Arlington, Virginia for a total of $361,286.
    The supplemental funding will ensure sufficient that clients' 
essential needs, such as housing, transportation, communication, food, 
and medical care will be met.

DATES: The period of support under these supplements is June 26, 2014 
through September 29, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maggie Wynne, Director, Division of 
Anti-Trafficking in Persons, Office of Refugee Resettlement, 901 D 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20447, Telephone (202) 401-4664. Email: 
[email protected]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Human Trafficking Victim 
Assistance Program (NHTVAP) provides funding for comprehensive case 
management services on a per capita basis. The NHTVAP grantees help 
victims gain access to housing, employability services, mental health 
screening and therapy, medical care, and some legal services, enabling 
them to live free of violence and exploitation. During FY 2014, the 
current grantee, U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), 
served more clients than it had originally planned for in its budget. 
Without the additional funding, significant cuts in services to clients 
would be made and the enrollment of new clients will be limited. With 
the supplemental funding, USCRI will be able to ensure that all of the 
clients' essential needs will be met.

    Statutory Authority: Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 
(TVPA), as amended, Section 107(b)(1)(B), 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), 
authorizes funding for benefits and services to foreign victims of 
severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States, 
potential victims of trafficking seeking HHS Certification, and 
certain family members.
