The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) received a Formula Grant award of $265,994 from the Office of Refugee Resettlement under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. This award supports the Refugee Support Services (RSS) program, which provides formula-based funding for employment assistance and other social services to eligible refugees, asylees, Cuban and Haitian entrants, victims of trafficking, and certain Afghan and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees for up to five years following their arrival or eligibility date in the United States.

Under this grant, FSSA delivers critical integration services designed to facilitate refugee resettlement across Indiana, including employment services, case management, educational support, and social services to support eligible populations' transition and self-sufficiency. The RSS component of this award provides ongoing support beyond the initial four-month cash and medical assistance phase, enabling longer-term employment and social service interventions. As a state agency, FSSA administers the program in accordance with annual service plan requirements and federal compliance standards under 2 CFR Part 200 and HHS-specific provisions in 2 CFR Part 300.
