Abstract:
The Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) has entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to establish and oversee an online application process to intake applications from PSGs and PSOs and screen their applications for approval for participation in the Welcome Corps. Specifically, PRM has selected a consortium comprising Church World Service, the Community Sponsorship Hub, Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, the International Refugee Assistance Project, the International Rescue Committee, and Welcome.US.
Emergency Justfication:
This effort is in response to President Biden's policy mandate in Executive Order 14013 "Rebuilding and Enhancing Programs to Resettle Refugees and Planning for the impact of Climate Change on Migration" issued in February 2021. In that Order, President Biden specifically directed DOS and HHS to develop a plan within 120 days of the order to enhance the capacity of the USRAP to welcome refugees through private sponsorship, a model of domestic refugee resettlement where private individuals and organizations accept primary responsibility for providing core resettlement assistance to newly arriving refugees.
