Abstract: Designed to assist refugees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, asylees, victims of trafficking and certain Amerasians integrate into American society as quickly and effectively as possible, the Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP) provides funding for: • temporary cash and medical assistance for eligible refugees and entrants not qualified for categorical assistance; • medical screening coordination and screening services to protect the public health of resettling communities; • support services, especially employment and English language training, to help refugees become employed and self sufficient in the shortest time possible; and • child welfare services, including foster care, independent living and other services to assist unaccompanied refugee minors (URM). Since 1982, the ORR 6: ORR Performance Report, has been the primary reporting instrument of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to capture quantitative and qualitative information on these primary functions of the agency. This information has enabled ORR to develop and maintain effective program monitoring and a system of data collection on cash assistance, services provided, and results achieved under the refugee resettlement program. All information submitted as part of the current ORR-6 is required by ORR regulations. ORR issued a notice in the Federal Register (86 FR 44370,) on August 12, 2021 requesting comments on an extension to continue use of the ORR-6 with proposed revisions. This notice notified all State Coordinators of the expiration of the current ORR-6 on February 28, 2022. ORR requested an extension of the ORR-6 Performance Report until 8/31/2022 with the plan to submit revisions prior to 8/31/2022. This request is for those subsequent revisions, as described in the August 2021 Federal Register notice, along with some additional minor revisions.
