Congress authorized ORR to provide resettlement assistance and other 
benefits available to refugees to specific Afghan populations in 
response to their emergency evacuation and resettlement. The OAW Afghan 
Supplement Survey is a sample survey of Afghan households entering the 
United States under OAW, collecting both household- and individual-
level information. It will generate nationally representative data on 
OAW Afghans' well-being, integration outcomes, and progress towards 
self-sufficiency. Data collected will help ORR and service providers 
better understand the impact of services and on-going service needs of 
OAW Afghan populations.
    Respondents: OAW Afghan populations.
