Summary: GY2026 Refugee Support Services and Set Asides

The Office of Refugee Resettlement awarded Delaware's Division of Public Health a formula grant of $851,238 effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566). This award funds Refugee Support Services (RSS), which provides formula-based funding for employment and related social services to eligible refugee populations, including refugees, asylees, trafficking victims, Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrants, and certain Afghan and Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees for five years following their arrival or eligibility date.

Under this grant, the Division of Public Health administers refugee support services statewide across Delaware's three counties, providing employment assistance, case management, and other social services designed to facilitate refugee self-sufficiency and integration into the community. The award represents the state's allocation under the RSS program, which is predominantly funded through formula grants distributed to eligible state agencies based on the size and composition of their refugee populations.
