CHAPTER 4: human servicesRefugees and Other EntrantsThe Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in ACF offersa variety of services to support refugees, migrants, andother entrants, including victims of human trafficking.Assistance to refugees includes transitional cashassistance, health benefits, and a wide variety of socialservices, provided through ORR grants. The primaryfocus is employment services such as skills training,job development, orientation to the workplace, and jobcounseling. The priority is to find employment earlyafter arrival, because it not only leads to early economicself-sufficiency for the family, but also adds greatly to theintegrity of families who seek to establish themselves in anew country and provide for their own needs.In addition to economic assistance to adults, ORRsupports the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors program,which delivers child welfare services in a culturallysensitive manner. Specifically, the program assistsrefugee and entrant youth younger than 18 who arewithout a responsible adult in developing appropriateskills to enter adulthood and to achieve economicand social self-sufficiency. The Unaccompanied AlienChildren program provides a safe and appropriateenvironment for minors during the interim periodbetween the minor’s transfer into a shelter care facilityand the minor’s release from custody by ORR orremoval from the United States.Victims of Human TraffickingThe Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (PublicLaw 106-386), as amended, designates HHS as theFederal Agency responsible for helping victims ofhuman trafficking become eligible to receive benefitsand services so that they may rebuild their lives safelyin this country.
