Ethnic Community Self Help Program: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites eligible entities to submit competitive grant applications for the Ethnic Community Self-Help (ECSH) Program to connect newly arrived refugee communities and their organizations to mainstream communities, and to provide services to newly arriving refugees. The objective of the ECSH Program is two-fold: 1. to support ECBOs’ organizational development and engagement in capacity building by encouraging their collaboration with other, more established refugee service providers and mainstream organizations in order to provide enhanced services to refugees; and 2. to ensure ongoing support and the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services to refugees within five years after their initial resettlement.
The populations targeted for services and benefits in the application must represent refugee communities who have arrived in the U.S. within the last five years.
ORR places a strong emphasis on projects providing psychosocial support and youth support services focusing on college preparation and afterschool programming.
