Opportunity Summary:
The Targeted Assistance Grant Discretionary (TAGD) Program is a federal funding opportunity announced by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). For Fiscal Year 2016, this discretionary grant program focuses on helping newly arrived refugees and certain refugee groups facing especially difficult circumstances who have not been able to move into stable, economically self-sufficient lives. The core idea behind the program is to provide targeted, practical support for refugees who are struggling to find their footing and who do not have other suitable funding sources or service programs available to meet their needs.
The services supported under TAGD center on intensive case management designed to remove barriers to employment and improve social adjustment. In practice, this means coordinating and delivering employment-related assistance along with broader supports that help refugees navigate life in the United States, stabilize their situation, and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency. The program is meant to be responsive to compelling situations among particular refugee populations, especially where standard resettlement resources are not enough or are not available, and where additional targeted support could make the difference between prolonged instability and a successful transition to independence.
This opportunity was issued as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.576. Eligible applicants include state governments, along with other entities as allowed under the opportunitys eligibility rules (the notice indicates that additional clarification is provided in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). The funding opportunity is identified by the number HHS-2016-ACF-ORR-RT-1140 and was posted on May 20, 2016, with an application closing date of July 22, 2016.
In terms of scale, ORR anticipated making around 25 awards under this announcement. The maximum award amount listed (the award ceiling) is $350,000. Overall, the program is positioned as a targeted intervention tool: it is intended to fill gaps where refugees with urgent or complex needs are not being adequately served by existing resources, and it prioritizes structured case management that links refugees to employment pathways and essential social adjustment supports to help them reach economic self-reliance.
