Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 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 invites proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations to carry out domestic refugee reception and placement services across the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The opportunity was posted on May 1, 2013, and proposals were due by Monday, July 1, 2013 at 12:00 p.m. noon EDT, with the notice archived on July 31, 2013. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning PRM anticipates substantial federal involvement in program implementation and oversight rather than a simple pass-through grant arrangement.
The core purpose of the RP Program is to promote the successful initial resettlement of individuals admitted to the United States as refugees through USRAP. For this announcement, PRM uses a statutory definition of "refugee" tied to U.S. immigration law: individuals admitted under section 207(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, as well as individuals whose eligibility for resettlement assistance has been extended by statute to match the assistance available to those admitted under section 207(c). In practical terms, the program is focused on ensuring that newly arriving refugees receive structured, early support that helps them stabilize quickly and begin integrating into their receiving communities.
PRM indicates it intends to make FY 2014 Cooperative Agreement awards to well-qualified nonprofit organizations that can deliver a range of required reception and placement services in multiple locations nationwide. The announcement makes clear that prior participation in the FY 2013 RP Program is neither required nor a guarantee of selection for FY 2014. However, PRM signals that it will consider both organizations with demonstrated satisfactory performance under previous PRM agreements and new or different applicants that meet the stated selection criteria and can prove they have the capacity to deliver the required services at scale.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Beyond basic eligibility, PRM lays out specific baseline qualifications that applicants must meet to be considered. Applicants must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise, and they must have experience managing a network of affiliates that provide reception and placement services or comparable services to refugees or other migrant populations within the United States. Applicants must have been operating in 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for at least three full years, must be able to document the availability of private financial resources that can be contributed to support the program, and must operate in multiple locations across the country. Taken together, these requirements emphasize organizational maturity, demonstrated service-delivery competence, national footprint, and the ability to leverage non-federal resources.
From the funding listing details, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.510 (U.S. Refugee Admissions Program). The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, even though applicants must document private financial resources to contribute to the program; that distinction typically means the government is not imposing a formal match percentage as an award condition, but it still expects organizations to bring some private support to strengthen capacity and services. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as 0, which usually indicates that specific dollar amounts were not provided in the summarized grants.gov record and would instead be described in the full announcement or determined through the allocation process under PRM program rules.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the notice directs them to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, 24/7 except federal holidays) and the support email address support@grants.gov. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PRM-PRMUSRAP-14-001, titled "FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement for Reception and Placement Program," under the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
