Federal Grant Award Summary

The Office of Refugee Resettlement awarded New Mexico Health Care Authority (Department of Human Services) $142,792 in formula grant funding under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) for the performance period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028. This award supports the delivery of Refugee Support Services (RSS), which provides employment assistance and other critical social services to refugees, asylees, and other eligible populations for up to five years following their date of arrival or eligibility in the United States.

The funded services include case management, employment support, educational assistance, mental health services, and integration support designed to facilitate the successful resettlement of vulnerable refugee populations into New Mexico communities. As a state agency designated to administer these federal programs, the New Mexico Health Care Authority leverages this formula funding alongside its broader portfolio of federal refugee assistance programs to provide comprehensive wraparound services to eligible refugees and entrants throughout the state.
