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

SUMMARY: The ACF, ORR, Division of Refugee Services (DRS) announces the 
intent to award a supplement in the amount of up to $1,500,000 to 
Upwardly Global in New York, NY. The purpose of this award is to enable 
the recipient to provide program services to Afghan Special Immigrant 
Visa holders and humanitarian parolees currently housed on U.S. 
military installations awaiting resettlement. Upwardly Global will

provide on-base services for four months, and then continue to provide 
remote support to eligible Afghan entrants at resettlement sites 
throughout the U.S.

DATES: The proposed period of support is 11/15/2021 to 9/29/2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anastasia Brown, Director, Division of 
Refugee Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement, 330 C Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20201. Telephone: 202-401-4559; Email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ORR announces the intent to award a 
supplement to Upwardly Global's Refugee Career Pathways program due to 
the significant need for career training among recent Afghan arrivals 
to the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome (OAW). Following 
resettlement, Afghan entrants will be required to quickly secure 
employment as a pathway to self-sufficiency. Without training in career 
opportunities in the U.S., many Afghan entrants will have great 
difficulty identifying employment opportunities that offer a path to 
economic self-sufficiency by drawing upon their professional skills and 
background.
    Statutory Authority: Immigration and Nationality Act Sec.  
412(c)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A).
