What is the Refugee Resettlement Program?
The Refugee Resettlement Program is established to help newly arriving population of refugees become self-sufficient in the shortest timeframe following their arrival in the United States. Refugees are individuals fleeing from persecution in their homelands who have been designated for resettlement elsewhere in the world. The Federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) provides funds, policy and over-site; but services are administered by the state.
