Ethnic Community Self-Help Program-Ukraine: The Administration for Children and Families, Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announces funding under the Ethnic Community Self-Help (ECSH) Program-Ukraine. The goal of the program is to support Ethnic Community-Based Organizations (ECBOs) in providing eligible populations with critical integration services. Under the ECSH Program, the following three main objectives must be implemented: 1) strengthen ECBOs' provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services; 2) support ECBOs' organizational development and engagement in capacity building by encouraging their collaboration with established refugee service providers and mainstream organizations; and 3) support ECBOs in promoting community building and civic participation.Funding for this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is provided through the "Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022" Public Law 117-128, Title IV, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Refugee Entrant Assistance, which authorizes ORR to carry out refugee and entrant assistance activities in support of citizens or nationals of Ukraine, or persons who last habitually resided in Ukraine, and provides eligibility for Ukrainian humanitarian parolees (or persons who last habitually resided in Ukraine who receive humanitarian parole) to receive services and benefits, including mainstream public benefits, to the same extent as refugees. For this reason, ORR is only authorized to fund projects that propose to serve eligible arrivals/parolees from Ukraine under this NOFO.
