SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This Matching Grant Program data collection is
designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and
Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(3))
requires that the Director of ORR make a periodic assessment of the
needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources
available to meet those needs. In addition, section 412(a)(7) of the
INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(7)) requires ORR to develop a system to monitor
the assistance provided under the Refugee Act that includes evaluation
of the effectiveness of the program and data collection on the services
provided and the results achieved. ORR proposes collecting both case-
level and client-level data elements at multiple points in time, which
will allow the ORR Director to better understand client demographics,
services utilized, and the outcomes achieved by clients enrolled in the
Matching Grant Program. Data elements include biographical information,
progress made toward achieving self-sufficiency, and employment status.
The data collected will inform evidence-based policy making and program
design.
Respondents: National resettlement agencies participating in the
Matching Grant Program.
