469 The Office of Refugee Resettlement allocates these
funds to states, which design their own refugee
service delivery system emphasizing job training
and placement, English language acquisition, and
citizenship services; however, the funds for this
line item are inadequate, leading to considerable
unevenness in service delivery from state to state.
Furthermore, funds are allocated based on a formula
using state arrival numbers for a three year period.
Funds allocated on this basis yet don’t reflect annual
admission numbers and needs. See Refugee Council
