Announcement of the Award of Single-Source Grants Under the 
Wilson-Fish Alternative Program (W-F)

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, ACF, HHS.

ACTION: Announcement of 13 single-source awards under the Wilson-Fish 
(W-F) Alternative Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of 
Refugee Resettlement (ORR), announces the award of 13 single-source 
grants for a total of $35,513,938 under the W-F Alternative Program.

DATES: September 30, 2015 through September 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Colleen Mahar-Piersma, Program 
Analyst, Office of Refugee Resettlement, Aerospace Building, 8th Floor 
West, 901 D Street SW., Washington, DC 20447. Telephone: 202-401-6891; 
Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wilson-Fish Alternative Program is 
intended to be an alternative to state-administered refugee assistance 
program that ensures that refugee assistance programs exist in every 
state where refugees are resettled. The W-F Alternative Program 
provides integrated assistance (cash and medical) and services 
(employment, case management, English language instruction, and other 
social services) to eligible clients in order to increase their 
prospects for early employment and self-sufficiency, reduce their level 
of welfare dependence, and promote coordination among voluntary 
resettlement agencies and service providers. W-F Alternative Program 
eligible clients include refugees, asylees, Amerasian Immigrants, Cuban 
and Haitian Entrants, Trafficking Victims, and Iraqi/Afghani Special 
Immigrant Visa holders.
    The W-F Alternative Program, which operates in 13 states, is one of 
three models outlined in the ORR regulations for the purpose of 
providing refugee cash assistance (RCA) to new arrivals. The W-F 
Alternative Program utilizes a ``one stop shop'' model in which 
services and assistance are administered by a single agency.
    Grant awards were made to 12 statewide W-F Alternative Programs in 
Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, 
Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Vermont. An award 
was also made to one countywide program in San Diego County, CA.
    The W-F grant recipients are:

    It is expected that ORR will continue to provide awards to the 
listed grantees for a 4-year project period. Grantees will be required 
to submit applications for noncompetitive awards for the subsequent 
years of the project period. Future noncompetitive awards will be based 
on the grantee's performance, the availability of funds, and the best 
interest of the Federal Government.
