Additional Frequently Asked Questions for FY 2023 R&P NOFO

Question:

Can an organization apply for this three-year funding opportunity even if they do not anticipate being ready to resettle refugees in FY 2023?

Answer:

An organization can apply for this funding opportunity even if they do not anticipate being ready to resettle significant numbers of refugees in FY 2023. However, such an organization must clearly demonstrate how they intend to actively develop their national capacity in FY 2023 so as to be ready to resettle significant numbers of refugees in FY 2024.

Does PRM have a target for how many new resettlement agencies they intend to fund in FY 2023?

PRM does not have such a target.

Does PRM have a general idea of how many arrivals you would want to see in year 1 for a new resettlement agency?

There is no specific target for this. Applicants should propose what they can reasonably support based on their overall proposed program timeline and what they believe the local affiliates/offices can achieve.

We have been working on a new site proposal for X Location in partnership with an existing resettlement agency. Is it possible to list the site on BOTH applications (ours and the resettlement agency) indicating that if the site is approved and our proposal to be a resettlement agency is approved

X location would fall under our network? However, if the site is approved and if we are NOT approved, then it would fall under the other existing resettlement agency with the site as their affiliate?

A local organization interested in becoming an R&P affiliate should apply with only one national organization, whether an existing or potential resettement agency. If for whatever reason that national organization were not approved to participate in R&P, that local organization could apply immediately with another, approved national organization. PRM regularly accepts and reviews mid-year proposals for new affiliates from approved national resettlement agencies.
