What Federal Agency is responsible for domestic resettlement of refugees after they arrive in the United States?
• Through the Reception & Placement Program, PRM funds 10 national voluntary agencies to provide initial resettlement services to newly arriving refugees. All refugees approved for admission to the United States are provided with sponsorship and resettlement services appropriate to their personal circumstances by one of these organizations. Reception and placement services for refugees are delivered in addition to, and in coordination with, services administered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), within the Administration for Children and Families, an operating division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). ORR funds and coordinates a network of state and nonprofit organizations that provide refugees with critical resources to assist them in becoming integrated members of American society.
