GY2026 refugee support services and set asides

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the State of Nevada $2.107 million on October 1, 2025, under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566) formula grant, with performance extending through September 30, 2028, across the United States.

The award funds refugee support services, including employment assistance, case management, language instruction, and social integration services for eligible refugees for up to five years following arrival. The Office of the Governor, acting as the administrative entity for Nevada, receives the funding as a prime recipient and may distribute it through subordinate state agencies.

This award is one of two concurrent formula grants issued to Nevada under CFDA 93.566 effective October 1, 2025. The companion award, a $544,106 block grant for Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance through September 30, 2027, reimburses the state for short-term financial support and medical assistance provided to eligible refugees during their initial four-month transition period. The Refugee Support Services formula grant targets the same eligible populations—refugees, certain Amerasians, Cuban and Haitian entrants, asylees, trafficking victims, Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrants, certain Afghan and Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees—and operates under the same compliance framework, including 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F audit requirements and record retention standards effective October 1, 2025.
