The purpose of the awards is to ensure that the 222 Nicaraguan Humanitarian Parolees (NHP) who were brought to the United States will have access to holistic care and services. This supplement will enable the identified grant recipients in California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Texas, and Virginia to provide access to medical, mental health, social, and legal services to NHP within their geographic service areas, and coordinate with The Center for Victims of Torture in Minnesota and other providers to serve NHP outside their service areas. The goal of these services is to help the NHP improve their health, find employment and stable housing, and regularize their immigration status.

These programs will provide direct services to the 222 Nicaraguan
Humanitarian Parolees (NHP) who were released from prison in Nicaragua
and brought to the United States by the U.S. Department of State in
February 2023.
On February 16, 2023, ORR issued Dear Colleague Letter 23-16, which
stated that while the NHP's current immigration status does not provide
eligibility for refugee program assistance, they may apply for
assistance from ORR-funded Survivors of Torture (SOT) grant recipients.
ORR has been working closely with the U.S. Department of State to
connect these individuals to SOT grant recipients and other local
service providers. Due to the nature and length of the NHP's detention
in Nicaragua, their sudden release from prison and entry into the
United States, and their temporary immigration status, these
individuals need immediate assistance. The SOT grant recipients
identified above are willing to provide medical, mental health, case
management, and legal services to these individuals. However, the
timing of these arrivals and the concentration in certain states has
overwhelmed the capacity of SOT grant recipients in these locations.
The supplemental awards will enhance the grant recipients' capacity to
provide essential care and support for NHP so that they can begin the
healing process.
Statutory Authority: Section 5(a) of the ``Torture Victims Relief
Act of 1998,'' Public Law 105-320 (22 U.S.C. 2152 note) Assistance for
Treatment of Torture Victims.

Senior Grants Policy Specialist, Office of Grants Policy, Office of
