DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Office of Refugee Resettlement 

Single-Source Program Expansion 

Supplement 

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, 

Administration for Children and 

Families. 

ACTION: Notice To Award a SingleSource Program Expansion Supplement 

to the Catholic Social Services (CSS) 

Under the Alabama Wilson-Fish 

Program. 

CFDA#: 93.583. 

Legislative Authority: The Refugee Act 

of 1980 as amended, Wilson-Fish 

Amendment, 8 U.S.C. 1522(e)(7); 

section 412(e)(7)(A) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act. 

Amount of Award: $125,163 

supplement for current year. 

Project Period: 09/30/2005–09/29/ 

2010. 

Justification for the Exception to 

Competition: The Wilson-Fish program 

is an alternative to the traditional Stateadministered welfare system for 

providing integrated assistance and 

services to refugees, asylees, Amerasian 

Immigrants, Cuban and Haitian 

Entrants, and Trafficking Victims. 

Alabama is one of 12 sites that has 

chosen this alternative approach. 

The supplemental funds will allow 

the grantee, Catholic Social Services, to 

provide refugee cash and medical 

assistance through the end of this fiscal 

year to eligible refugees (and others 

eligible for refugee benefits) under the 

Alabama Wilson-Fish Program. 

The primary reason for the grantee’s 

supplemental request is a higher 

number of arrivals than anticipated 

when the grantee’s budget was 

submitted and approved last year. The 

Refugee Act of 1980 mandates that the 

Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) 

reimburse States and Wilson-Fish 

projects for the costs of cash and 

medical assistance for newly arriving 

refugees. Since 1991, ORR has 

reimbursed States and Wilson-Fish 

agencies for providing cash and medical 

assistance to eligible individuals during 

their first eight months in the United 

States. 

Hence, the supplement is consistent 

with the purposes of the Wilson-Fish 

Program, the Refugee Act of 1980, and 

ORR policy.
