ORR provides 28 States and ten Wilson-Fish agencies with Refugee
School Impact funding to undertake a comprehensive statewide approach
supporting local school systems that are impacted by significant
numbers of newly arrived refugee children. As currently awarded, the
FY14-16 Refugee School Impact funding period concludes on August 14,
2016. Beginning in FFY17, ORR will award Refugee School Impact funding
as a formula set-aside within the Refugee Social Services funding
awarded to all States and Wilson-Fish programs coordinating refugee
resettlement. This change in timing for Refugee School Impact funding
will create a gap in Refugee School Impact program services between
August 15, 2016 and October 1, 2016. The low-cost extensions will
support refugee access to services critical to refugee student success
at the beginning of the school year, when such services are greatest
and most urgent.
DATES: Low-cost extension supplement grants will support activities
from August 15, 2016, through September 30, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Rubenstein, Director, Division of
Refugee Assistance, Office of Refugee Resettlement, 330 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20201. Email: [email protected].
Statutory Authority: This program is authorized by Section
412(c)(1)(A)(iii) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8
U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A)(iii).
