    II. Under Chapter KR, Office of Refugee Resettlement, deletes KR.20 
Functions in its entirety and replaces it with the following:
    KR.20 Function. A. The Office of the Director/Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Humanitarian Services (ORR Director/DAS-HS) is directly 
responsible to the Assistant Secretary for Children and Families for 
carrying out ORR's statutory mandates and mission and providing 
guidance and general supervision to the components of ORR. The ORR 
Director/DAS-HS has specific legal authorities provided by section 411 
of the Refugee Act of 1980, section 462 of the Homeland Security Act of 
2002, and delegated per section 235 of the William Wilberforce 
Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, and 
provides executive level leadership and direction on national policy 
and programming. The Principal Deputy Director, in coordination with 
the ORR Director/DAS-HS, oversees overall program effectiveness. 
Program administration and management is carried out by the Director of 
the Refugee Program Bureau, the Director of the Unaccompanied Children 
Bureau, and the Chief Operating Officer.
    The ORR Director/DAS-HS coordinates with the lead refugee and 
entrant program offices of other Federal departments; provides 
leadership in representing refugee and entrant programs, policies, and 
administration to a variety of governmental entities and other public 
and private interests; and acts as the coordinator of the refugee and 
entrant resettlement efforts for ACF and the Department. The ORR 
Director/DAS-HS oversees the care and custody of unaccompanied 
children, grants specific consent for those who wish to invoke the 
jurisdiction of a state court for a dependency order to seek Special 
Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) status, and makes placement determinations for 
those eligible for the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) Program. The 
Office of the Director/DAS-HS develops regulations, legislative 
proposals, and routine interpretations of policy; implements strategic 
initiatives and management priorities; and oversees communications for 
the office, including responses to media requests, congressional 
inquiries, and stakeholder engagements. In the absence of the ORR 
Director/DAS-HS, the Principal Deputy Director serves as head of 
office. Within the Office of the Director, the Strategic Initiatives 
team, the Enterprise Analytics team, the Integrity and Accountability 
team, and the Communications and Partnerships team provide direct 
support to the Office of the Director/DAS-HS.
    The Strategic Initiatives team oversees the development and 
monitoring of office-wide and bureau-specific strategic priorities and 
provides periodic reviews of progress. The Enterprise Analytics team 
provides ORR leadership with analytics-related programmatic briefs, 
leads data analysis on projects in collaboration with supporting 
divisions across the ORR bureaus, and supports the office of the ORR 
Director/DAS-HS. The Integrity and Accountability team is responsible 
for the mitigation, identification, and reporting of attempted fraud. 
The Communications and Partnerships team monitors and responds to media 
outlets; provides support for stakeholder engagement; manages digital 
communication channels; oversees the clearance processes for 
communication materials, rollout plans, and reports and documents that 
ORR is required to publicly post; and manages both internal and 
external communications.
    B. The Refugee Program Bureau is responsible for carrying out 
programs that assist all populations deemed eligible by Congress for 
Refugee Program services, including refugees, asylees, Cuban and 
Haitian entrants, certain Amerasians, certain Humanitarian Parolees and 
Special Immigrants, Survivors of Torture, and certified victims of 
severe forms of trafficking in persons. The Refugee Program Bureau 
consists of the Division of Refugee Assistance; the Division of Refugee 
Services; the Division of Refugee Health; the Division of Refugee 
Children Services; the Division of Refugee Policy; the Division of 
Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning; the Division of Refugee Data and 
Information; and the Division of Interagency Outreach and Response. The

Director/DAS-HS.

Division of Refugee Assistance (KRB1)

    The Division of Refugee Assistance represents ORR nationally and 
regionally in coordinating services and capacity for refugees in a 
manner that helps refugees become employed and economically self-
sufficient and integrated into their local communities soon after they 
arrive in the United States. The Division oversees and provides 
technical assistance to the state- administered domestic assistance 
programs and Wilson/Fish projects. The Division works closely with each 
state in designing a resettlement program specific to the needs of 
incoming populations. The Division develops guidance and procedures for 
their implementation and manages special initiatives to increase 
refugee self-sufficiency, such as through state-funded discretionary 
grants or pilot programs. The Division assists in coordinating and 
planning refugee support services among public and private agencies and 
supports the flow of information on refugee profiles and community 
resources in support of effective placement at the state and local 
levels. The Division manages the effective allocation of formula social 
services and targeted assistance in support of newly arriving 
populations. The Division tracks all state costs related to refugee 
assistance.

Division of Refugee Services (KRB2)

    The Division of Refugee Services manages effective refugee 
resettlement through the programmatic implementation of grants, 
contracts, and special initiatives of transitional services. The 
Division initiates, publishes, oversees, and manages most Refugee 
Program Bureau discretionary grants; develops program guidelines; 
recommends grantee allocation; coordinates with the grants management 
office to review the financial expenditures under discretionary grant 
programs; provides data in support of apportionment requests; and 
provides technical assistance on discretionary grant operations. The 
Division coordinates and provides liaison with other Federal entities 
on discretionary grant operational issues and other activities as 
specified by the Bureau Director or required by Congressional mandate. 
The Division responds to unanticipated refugee and entrant arrivals or 
significant increases in arrivals to communities where adequate or 
appropriate services do not exist through supplemental initiatives. The

Program, which focuses on the safety, education, well-being, 
permanency, and self-sufficiency of youth in foster care, and (2) 
coordination of services through technical assistance and capacity 
building across ORR programs with a child-protection lens to ensure the 
safety and well-being of children and youth as they navigate the 
refugee resettlement and integration process. The Division oversees the 
work of the URM Program, working closely with states to ensure 
sufficient capacity to serve all URM-eligible populations. The Division 
provides oversight to the state administered URM Program, develops 
guidance for program administration and implementation, and provides 
technical assistance on a variety of administrative, case, 
programmatic, financial, and policy matters. The Division also manages 
all data collected on youth served in the URM Program and through other 
refugee-related programs.

Division of Refugee Policy (KRB5)

    The Division of Refugee Policy develops clearance and informational 
memoranda, briefing materials, and summary statements for ORR, ACF, and 
department leadership on complex and sensitive matters. The Division 
collaborates with other ORR divisions and regional staff to clarify and

work of two or more divisions and the regions overlaps. The Division's 
main activities include: interpreting and developing statutory and 
regulatory guidance, reviewing legislation and its impacts on the 
Refugee Program Bureau, coordinating with the Office of General Counsel 
on all relevant legal issues, drafting and publishing policy letters 
and other forms of responsive guidance in collaboration with ORR 
leadership and other ORR divisions, clarifying eligibility for ORR 
services, enhancing existing guidance and procedures, providing 
technical assistance and training on policy, and reviewing OMB-approved 
data collections and interagency data-sharing agreements. The Division

such as the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Office of the 
Inspector General (OIG), Office of the General Counsel (OGC), Office of 
Legislative Affairs and Budget (OLAB), and others, and takes the lead 
in coordinating the development of the Annual Report to Congress and 
responding to congressional inquiries.

    The Division of Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning leads cross-
divisional monitoring of all refugee programs and services, including 
the development of monitoring instruments, conducting monitoring 
reviews, investigating grievances, maintaining dashboards to visualize 
monitoring results, and tracking programmatic outcomes and grantee 
performance. The Division leads the development of learning agendas and 
oversight of research and evaluation projects, such as the Annual 
Survey of Refugees. The Division also coordinates cross-divisional 
assessment and utilization of ORR refugee-related data to ensure it is 
being leveraged in a unified and effective manner and that it is 
supporting data-informed decision making and learning.

Division of Refugee Data and Information (KRB7)

    The Division of Refugee Data and Information provides integrated 
governance and data management for all new and existing tools and 
technologies designed to capture, track, and analyze refugee program 
data. The Division develops data sharing agreements to ensure the 
receipt of arrival data from key Federal sources. The Division 
identifies data needs to support best-in-class data services for the 
Refugee Program Bureau and oversees relevant data strategy and 
governance policies. The Division tracks the different populations 
served by the Refugee Program Bureau for planning and estimation 
purposes, and creates dashboards to organize data and address 
information, reporting, and quality control needs. The Division 
collaborates with other ORR divisions to analyze, interpret, and 
leverage data for enhanced efficiency, transparency, and integrity. The 
Division ensures that the Refugee Program Bureau is compliant with the 
National Archives and Records Administration's regulations. The 
Division works with stakeholders and partners to establish and maintain 
secure linkages between data sources and provides account management 
and training to the Refugee Program Bureau data users.

Division of Interagency Outreach and Response (KRB8)

    The Division of Interagency Outreach and Response has three key 
components: leading the Refugee Program Bureau's work on emergency 
preparedness and response, conducting national outreach to partners and 
stakeholders, and coordinating with other Federal partners to improve 
access to refugee program services and benefits for all eligible 
populations. The Division serves as the subject matter expert on 
responding to increases in non-traditional eligible populations and 
emergency scenarios involving eligible populations already in the 
United States; coordinates with interagency partners to ensure ORR 
presence in response planning and implementation for events that impact 
refugee communities; and develops state interagency plans and 
capabilities to support preparedness for potential emergency events. 
The Division develops national partnerships to facilitate regional and 
local collaboration in support of the Refugee Program Bureau and 
develops and implements education and training initiatives to improve 
partners' understanding of ORR and its services and populations. 
Through outreach, the Division solicits, designs, and integrates the 
lived experience of refugees and diaspora communities into ORR 
programs, policies, and partnerships; develops and launches advisory 
councils in support of refugee community outreach; and conducts 
listening sessions and information sessions with refugee communities to 
better understand their needs and share available resources.
