This federal Block Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566), supports the provision of cash and medical assistance, as well as integration services, for refugees, Amerasians, Cuban and Haitian entrants, asylees, and victims of human trafficking in the state of Iowa.
The $724,349 award, covering the period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will enable the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) to deliver essential support mechanisms such as temporary housing, language instruction, employment services, and other programs to help these vulnerable populations achieve self-sufficiency and successfully resettle in local communities across the state. As the designated state agency, Iowa DHS will leverage this Block Grant funding to coordinate service delivery through partnerships with local providers, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations as sub-awardees.
