Refugee Resettlement

The Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) funds refugee resettlement and processing activities under Assistance Listing 19.044, supporting the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and overseas Resettlement Support Centers that prepare casework for refugee eligibility determination and admission.

The program operates as an interagency effort involving governmental and non-governmental partners. Funded activities include preparing casework for foreign individuals overseas to determine eligibility for USCIS refugee interviews under Section 207 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, completing additional admission requirements for DHS-approved cases, managing travel logistics, and forwarding case data to the U.S.-based Refugee Processing Center for distribution to Reception and Placement agencies operating under HHS for final placement and integration support. The Assistant Secretary of BPRM makes funding decisions based on recommendations from the Bureau's Office of Refugee Processing and other Bureau offices, with a warranted Grants Officer reviewing documentation and issuing awards through the Department's grants management system.

Recipients must upload audit documentation to MyGrants within thirty days of award issuance and comply with record retention and access requirements under 2 CFR 200.334–.338. The regulations under 2 CFR 200 do not apply to International Organizations.
