Additional Information on Eligibility:
Eligible applicants are ten national voluntary agencies that currently resettle refugees under a Reception and Placement Cooperative Agreement with the Department of State or with the Department of Homeland Security. The Preferred Communities program is restricted to these agencies because placements of new arrivals occur under the terms of the cooperative agreements, and no other agencies place new arrivals or participate in determining their resettlement sites. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply. Foreign entities are not eligible under this announcement.

Description
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) invites the submission of applications for funding, on a competitive basis, for the Preferred Communities program to support the resettlement of newly arrived refugees in Preferred Communities where they have ample opportunities for early employment and sustained economic independence and, to address special populations who need intensive case management, culturally and linguistically appropriate linkages and coordination with other service providers to improve their access to services. This announcement replaces the Priority Area One - Preferred Communities program included in the Standing Announcement for Services for Recently Arrived Refugees published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2004. The Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement will observe February 24, 2009 (FY 09) and February 24, 2010 (FY 2010) as the closing dates for applications. An applicant may submit more than one application under this announcement. The modification to the published Program Announcement notes changes to the Anticipated Total Priority Area Funding from $600,000 to $2,800,000 for FY 09; and a change to the Anticipated Number of Awards from 2 - 6 to 10 -12 awards for FY 09. The Ceiling on Amount of Individual Awards remains at $300,000 for FY 09. The modification also announces the implementation of the ACF-OGM-SF-PPR for performance progress reports on all awards in FY 2009 (new and continuation). The ACF-OGM-SF-PPR may be accessed at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/grants_resources.html under "Reporting."
