Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants for these funds are (a) those agencies of State governments that are responsible for the refugee program under 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 400.5 with an approved State Plan that includes the Cuban/Haitian Entrant Program (CHEP); (b) an agency that has statewide responsibility for an alternative to the State-administered program in lieu of the State under a Wilson/Fish grant; and (c) a replacement designee authorized by the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement to administer the provision of assistance and services, as appropriate, to refugees in that State pursuant to 45 CFR 400.301. Applicants are limited to these agencies as they are responsible for determining the statewide impact of Cuban and Haitian refugees and entrants on communities and ensuring coordination and avoiding duplication and overlap in the provision of services to this population with an approved State Plan that includes the Cuban/Haitian Entrant Program (CHEP). Eligible applicants may apply under this announcement based on ORR arrival data for Cuban and Haitian refugees and entrants during the period Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 through FY 2008, (table of this data is attached at Appendix A). Based on the arrival data on the attached table at Appendix A, a minimum State threshold of 400 Cuban and Haitian refugees and entrants has been established as a baseline. The purpose of the threshold is to target assistance to those areas most heavily affected by these arrivals. Awards, however, will not be based solely on population numbers, but will be based on the proposed program and justification and documentation of the applicant, including such factors as service needs of the population to be served and resources available to the applicant. Foreign entities are not eligible under this announcement.
