Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant Program: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is soliciting applications for the Voluntary Agency Matching Grant Program. The Matching Grant Program is an alternative to public assistance designed to enable refugees to become self-sufficient within four to six months from date of arrival into the United States (U.S.). Services provided under this agreement include, but are not limited to, case management, employment services, maintenance assistance and cash allowance, and administration. Competition is limited. Only agencies that have an on-going relationship with refugees that has been established as a result of providing reception and placement services under the terms of a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of State (DOS) or the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are eligible to apply. ORR will consider subsequent applications for the continuation of the cooperative agreements funded under these awards for the 36-month project period on a noncompetitive basis, subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the agency and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the Federal Government.
