Public Law 109-165 in January 2006. Section 5(a) of the law provides:

    Project Period: February 1, 2009-September 29, 2009.
    Summary: In FY 2006, ORR awarded a competitive Services for 
Survivors of Torture grant to the Tides Center/Utah Health and Human 
Rights Project in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original project period was 
from September 30, 2006 through September 29, 2009. The Tides Center 
served as fiscal sponsor and legal entity of the approved project. The 
Tides Center provides essential financial, human resources, and 
administrative services to philanthropic projects such as the Utah 
Health and Human Rights Project (UHHRP) while enabling them to become 
independent agencies. UHHRP has now completed the process of becoming 
an independent agency and is formally separating from the Tides Center 
on January 31, 2009. The Tides Center has requested permission for 
UHHRP to assume the grant. UHHRP has agreed to this request and will 
continue to function with the scope and operations of the grant 
remaining unchanged.
