Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant Program
93.567
The Matching Grant Program was created in 1979 as an intensive case management program with the objective to fast-track new arrivals toward economic self-sufficiency within eight months (240 days) of program enrollment, without accessing public cash assistance. The Matching Grant Program assists refugees in becoming self-supporting and independent members of American society by providing funds to private nonprofit organizations to support case management, transitional assistance, and social services for new arrivals.
