How can voluntary agencies enroll asylees in Match Grant programs?
Question
How can voluntary agencies enroll persons who have been granted asylum (asylees) in Match Grant programs if the agencies do not have established relationships with asylees through the Department of State’s Reception and Placement Cooperative Agreement or a Reception and Placement Cooperative Agreement with another federal agency?
Answer
Voluntary Agencies do not provide reception and placement services to asylees since asylees are already here in the US by definition. However, all affiliates of Voluntary Agencies do not participate in the Matching Grant program. Voluntary Agencies provide outreach to asylees; alternatively, asylees may learn of available services including the Matching Grant program via the asylee hotline. To find out where you should go to apply, please call (800) 354-0365.
