Federal Grant Award Summary

The State of Nevada, through the Office of the Governor, received a $2.11 million Formula Grant from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) under the Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (CFDA 93.566), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion by September 30, 2028. This award funds two primary components of refugee resettlement services: Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) providing short-term financial support and medical assistance reimbursement to eligible refugees during their initial four-month transition period, and Refugee Support Services (RSS) delivering employment assistance, case management, language instruction, and social integration services for up to five years following arrival. Eligible populations include refugees, asylees, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Afghan and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees, and other designated populations under federal refugee policy.

Nevada's formula allocation supports these services through state-administered programs that reimburse costs and provide direct services to newly arrived populations in the state. The grant requires Nevada to comply with established reporting requirements, including annual submission of State Plans, ORR-1 Cash and Medical Assistance Program Estimates, and Annual Service Plans, as well as adherence to federal compliance standards under 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance) and HHS-specific provisions in 2 CFR Part 300, effective October 1, 2025.
