Catholic Charities USA received a $4.5 million Cooperative Agreement from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (CFDA 93.676), awarded September 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2026. Under the Preferred Communities (PC) Program component, Catholic Charities USA provides intensive case management services, psychosocial support programming, and community outreach to refugees with special needs or vulnerabilities who require additional support for successful integration. The program focuses on helping these refugees access specialized resources, overcome barriers to self-sufficiency, and connect with community services to address unique challenges such as medical or mental health needs, disabilities, or other circumstances requiring enhanced assistance.

Catholic Charities USA, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, distributes funding through sub-awards to 23 local Catholic Charities member agencies and affiliated organizations across the United States, including entities in New York, Texas, Arizona, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, and Oregon. These sub-grantees deliver the same intensive case management and psychosocial support services to especially vulnerable ORR-eligible populations, with awards issued between October 14 and November 10, 2025. The cooperative agreement structure leverages Catholic Charities USA's national network and fiscal management capacity to coordinate federal oversight, program monitoring, training, reporting, and technical assistance across its member agencies, ensuring standardized delivery of trauma-informed services to vulnerable refugee populations nationwide.
