Deadline: 20-Jun-22
The Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) has launched a private sponsorship of refugees (PSR) pilot program in calendar year 2022 as part of PRM’s efforts to expand domestic community sponsorship in refugee resettlement.
The purpose of the PSR pilot program is to increase and deepen the involvement of local communities across the country in effective refugee resettlement, recognizing the significant and impactful role that local community actors have long played in supporting the welcome and integration of refugees admitted to the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The PSR pilot program is intended to complement PRM’s Reception and Placement Program (R&P) by creating new, additional opportunities for individuals and organizations nationwide to be directly engaged in supporting refugee resettlement.
PRM seeks to partner with one or more non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to develop and manage the new operational infrastructure that will be required to organize Private Sponsor Groups and Organizations in order to launch the PSR pilot program and scale it over time. Specifically, PRM requests concept notes from operational partners proposing activities that will cover at least one or more of the seven components of core operational infrastructure for the PSR pilot program.
