Federal Block Grant Award Summary

Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada received a $2.42 million Block Grant award from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) for the performance period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. The award funds the Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) program, which provides short-term cash assistance, medical services, employment training, temporary housing, language instruction, and legal services to refugees, asylees, Amerasians, Cuban and Haitian entrants, and victims of human trafficking during the first four months following their arrival or eligibility date.

Beyond direct service provision, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada leverages additional sub-grant funding from partner organizations to expand its comprehensive integration support. The organization administers sub-awards from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (Women, Infants, and Children clinics), the City of Las Vegas (Meals on Wheels and homeless prevention case management), the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (reception and placement services), the Nevada Department of Education (adult education), and Clark County (rapid rehousing initiatives). This diversified funding portfolio enables the organization to address poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, and integration needs across the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
