IDAs are leveraged or matched,
savings accounts. In the ORR Refugee
IDA program, IDAs are matched with
federal funds that have been allocated as
‘‘match funds’’ from at least 65 percent
of the annual federal grant award. IDAs
are established in insured accounts in
qualified financial institutions. The
funds are intended for the Asset Goals
specified in this announcement.
Although the refugee participant
maintains control of all funds that the
participant deposits in the IDA,
including all interest that may accrue on
the funds, the participant must sign a
Savings Plan Agreement which specifies
that the funds in the account will be
used only for the participant’s qualified
Asset Goal(s) or for an emergency
withdrawal.
The objectives of this program are to:
1. Establish IDAs for eligible
participants;
2. Encourage regular saving habits
among refugees;
3. Promote their participation in the
financial institutions of this country;
4. Promote refugee acquisition of
assets to build individual, family, and
community resources;
