Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Reception and Placement (RP) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). It supports the initial reception and placement of refugees arriving in the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The program is designed to help newly arrived refugees get a stable start in their first days and weeks in the country and to encourage rapid progress toward economic self-sufficiency. PRM makes awards through Cooperative Agreements, reflecting an ongoing partnership model where the federal government and the selected organizations coordinate closely on program execution and outcomes rather than operating through a simple pass-through grant structure.
The announcement grounds the program in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). For this funding opportunity, a "refugee" is defined as someone admitted under section 207(c) of the INA (as amended), as well as individuals who have been extended eligibility for the same resettlement assistance by statute. The underlying premise in the INA is that it is beneficial for public or private nonprofit organizations to deliver these reception and placement services and to help refugees move toward economic independence as quickly as possible. The RP Program goals and objectives described in the opportunity are framed to align with those statutory expectations.
PRM funds the RP Program by partnering with nongovernmental organizations that deliver services directly or through affiliate networks across the United States. The Bureau emphasizes that its support is partial: participating organizations are expected to combine PRM funds with their own existing and projected private resources. In practical terms, this means applicants must be prepared to show that they can bring private funding or other private resources to the table to help cover the cost of delivering required services, rather than relying exclusively on federal dollars.
The performance period described in the opportunity covers refugee arrivals from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011 (FY 2011). PRM indicates it intends to make Cooperative Agreement awards to well-qualified nonprofit organizations capable of delivering a range of services in multiple locations nationwide. The focus on multiple locations and affiliate management signals that the Bureau is looking for organizations with a broad operational footprint and the ability to maintain consistent service delivery standards across a distributed network.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (specifically excluding institutions of higher education as the eligible applicant type listed). To be considered, applicants must meet several core capacity requirements. They must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise, and they must have experience managing an affiliate network that provides reception and placement services or comparable services to refugees or other migrant populations. They also must have operated for at least three full years in 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. Finally, they must document the availability of private financial resources that will contribute to the program, reinforcing the cost-blending model PRM expects for RP implementation.
The announcement also makes clear that prior participation does not guarantee future participation. Even though PRM will consider applicants with satisfactory performance under previous Bureau agreements, being part of the FY 2010 RP Program is neither a prerequisite for applying nor a promise of continued selection for FY 2011. In other words, PRM is leaving room both for established resettlement organizations with strong track records and for other qualified nonprofits that can meet the selection criteria and demonstrate the capacity to deliver the required services at scale.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PRM-A-11-CA-DOM-051210 and is tied to CFDA 19.510, the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. It was posted May 12, 2010, with an application deadline of July 13, 2010, and an archive date of August 12, 2010. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as 0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts were not provided in the summary fields and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement materials on Grants.gov. The opportunity states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement in the formal sense, but it simultaneously expects applicants to contribute private resources, which functions as an expectation of leveraged support even if it is not labeled as a statutory match.
For applicants or interested parties needing clarification, the program contact listed is Susan Kyle, Program Officer at PRM, reachable by phone at 202-453-9258 or by email at kylesf@state.gov. The announcement directs prospective applicants to consult the full Grants.gov package for complete requirements, detailed program expectations, and application instructions.
