This award funds the Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) program, which reimburses the organization for providing short-term cash assistance, medical assistance, and medical screening to eligible refugee populations during their first four months after arrival or eligibility determination. The CMA program serves refugees, Amerasians from Vietnam, Cuban and Haitian entrants, asylees, trafficking victims, Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrants, and certain Afghan and Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees, along with covering recipient administrative costs.
In addition to cash and medical assistance, the award supports employment training, temporary housing, language instruction, and legal services for refugees. Catholic Charities Maine, a Portland-based nonprofit with extensive experience in federal refugee resettlement programs, will deliver these integrated support services to vulnerable populations across Maine, leveraging its established capacity as a frequent ORR grantee and comprehensive social services provider.
