Announcing the Award of Nine SingleSource Grants Under the Voluntary
Agencies Matching Grant Program
Office of Refugee Resettlement,
Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Announcing the Award of Nine
Single-Source Grants under the
Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant
Program.
AGENCY:
The Voluntary Agencies
Matching Grant Program was created by
Congress in 1979. The program is
intended to work in consort with the
Refugee and Cuban & Haitian Entrant
Reception and Placement (R&P)
programs. Thus, competition under the
Voluntary Agency Matching Grant
Program has historically been limited to
those voluntary agencies providing R&P
services through cooperative agreements
with the Department of State or the
Department of Homeland Security.
Congress confirmed this approach to the
program in the 1986 Refugee Assistance
Extension Act. The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) has
determined that using the solicited
single-source application process is in
the best interest of the government as it
will achieve the same result and is more
cost effective than the published
Funding Opportunity Announcement
process.

October 1, 2014 through

The
Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant
Program, under the Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR), is an alternative to
public cash assistance designed to
enable refugees, asylees, and other ORR
eligible populations, to become selfsufficient through employment within
120 to 180 days from date of arrival into
the United States (U.S.) and/or the date
of eligibility for ORR services; however,
clients must be enrolled within 31 days
of becoming eligible to ensure that
adequate services are provided and selfsufficiency is achieved and maintained
within the period of eligibility. Services
provided include, but are not limited to,
case management, employment services,
housing and utilities, food,
transportation, cash allowance, health
and medical, English language training,
social adjustment, and other support
services. In all cases, self-sufficiency
must be achieved without accessing
public cash assistance and all program
services cease at 180 days from program
eligibility.
The Voluntary Agencies Matching
Grant Program was designed to work
directly with Reception and Placement
(R&P) programs. Congress confirmed
this approach to the program in the
1986 Refugee Assistance Extension Act.
Therefore, funding under this program
is open only to those nine voluntary
agencies that already provide R&P
services through a cooperative
agreement with the U.S. Department of
