 Proposed Project *Title:*
                     Office of Refugee Resettlement Individual Development (IDA) Program Post-Asset Acquisition Data Collection. *OMB No.:*
                     New Collection. *Description:*
                     In October 1999 the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), began funding Individual Development Account (IDA) programs, a discretionary grant program authorized by Section 412(c)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A)), for low-income refugees. IDAs are a tool that enable low-income families to save, build assets, and enter the financial mainstream. Since the inception of the ORR IDA Program, data have never been collected from the former refugee participants to assess how they are doing since they acquired their asset (e.g., home, small business, car, post-secondary education/vocational training/recertification, computer, or home renovation). This report will be used to document the experiences of the refugees and their families since they acquired their asset. There is much to be learned from the experiences of IDA programs serving refugees. ORR has requested this report in order to document long-term program outcomes and understand what happens after a participant obtains his/her asset. The lessons drawn will not only have direct implications for ORR, but also for currently funded refugee IDA grantees. The broader asset field will also benefit from learning about the achievements and challenges of a program that serves refugees. *Respondents:*
