About this opportunity
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is offering grants under the Refugee Family Child Care Microenterprise Development Program (RFCCMED). The program aims to help refugees achieve economic self-sufficiency by establishing licensed family child care (FCC) businesses, increase access to quality child care for refugee families, and assist refugees in navigating mainstream child care services. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, and they must demonstrate internal capacity and partnerships to provide training, technical assistance, financial literacy education, and direct financial assistance to refugee participants. The application deadline is June 28, 2024, with an expected award date of August 30, 2024 and start date of September 30, 2024.
The total estimated program funding is $2 million, with approximately 8 awards expected ranging from $175,000 to $250,000 per 36-month project period. The federal grant program under which this opportunity is assigned is the Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants (CFDA 93.576), which aims to build capacity for refugee placement and provide specialized case management for vulnerable cases, as well as assist low-income refugees with various social services.
Synopsis
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces funding under the Refugee Family Child Care Microenterprise Development Project (RFCCMED). Through the RFCCMED program, ORR will fund successful applicants to provide refugee participants with training and technical assistance in professional child care, microenterprise development, and financial literacy; assist refugee participants in navigating the child care licensing process; and provide direct financial assistance as needed to enable participants to prepare their homes for child care business operation. Successful applicants will demonstrate internal capacity and partnerships to provide program services. The three main objectives of RFCCMED are to 1) help refugees to achieve economic self-sufficiency by establishing licensed family child care (FCC) businesses; 2) help refugee families gain access to licensed FCC businesses which will meet the early care and developmental needs of refugee children; and 3) assist refugees in learning how to navigate mainstream child care services.
