In the past
few years, ORR has seen an increasing
need for mental health services among
newly-arrived refugees, particularly
those who have suffered torture and
extreme trauma due to war and
genocide. ORR has received numerous
reports of refugees from Bhutan and
Burma completing suicide. Bhutanese
refugees, in particular, have
demonstrated a high incidence of
suicide upon arrival to the U.S. This
fiscal year the program is seeing a
significant increase in resettlement of
refugees from the Democratic Republic
of Congo and Syria.
Refugees face significant barriers to
accessing mental health resources since
they are unfamiliar with community
mental health systems, speak limited
English, and have few financial
resources. Health and mental health
providers are often overwhelmed by the
linguistic and cultural differences that
refugees present and respond by saying
they are unable to provide services.
Currently the provision of standardized
mental health screening and culturally
appropriate mental health services is
one the primary challenges facing the
US resettlement program. There is no
direct provision of much needed mental
health services to refugees in many
primary resettlement locations.
Gulf Coast has been a longstanding
refugee resettlement program and also
has been a grantee under the ORR
Survivors of Torture program for the
past 15 years. In addition, Gulf Coast
has provided technical assistance and
mental health services to a national
network of refugee service providers
and mainstream health and mental
health professionals for the past 9 years.
Gulf Coast is recognized as the primary
refugee mental health technical
assistance provider to states without a
survivor of torture program. As a result
of Gulf Coast’s training and technical
assistance 6 states applied for and
received ORR grants to provide direct
services to survivors. They are the only
technical assistance provider with
expertise in both refugee resettlement
and direct services to survivors of
torture. They are the only national
technical assistance provider with
expertise in both refugee resettlement

and direct services to survivors of
torture.
Gulf Coast’s National Partnership for
Community Training (NPCT) has
provided technical assistance and
training services to ORR grantees and
other refugee service providers since
2006.
It is expected that ORR will provide
awards to this grantee for a 2-year
project period with 12-month budget
periods. The grantee will be required to
submit applications for noncompetitive
awards in the subsequent year during
the project period. Future awards will
be based on the grantee’s performance,
the availability of funds, and the best
interest of the Federal Government.
Statutory Authority: This program is
authorized by—
(A) Section 412 (c)(1)(A) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)(8
U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A)), as amended, which
authorizes the Director ‘‘to make grants to,
and enter into contracts with, public or
private nonprofit agencies for projects
specifically designed—[. . .](i) to assist
refugees in obtaining the skills that are
necessary for economic self-sufficiency,
including projects for job training,
employment services, day care, professional
refresher training, and other recertification
services; (ii) to provide training in English
where necessary (regardless of whether the
refugees are employed or receiving cash or
other assistance); and (iii) to provide where
specific needs have been shown and
recognized by the Director, health (including
mental health) services, social services,
education and other services.’’
