The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) invites eligible entities to submit competitive grant applications for the Fiscal Year 2022 new, one-time Services for Afghan Survivors Impacted by Combat (SASIC) Program. The SASIC Program’s goals are to help newly arrived Afghans eligible under the Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act overcome severe, pervasive, and long-lasting combat-related trauma and to facilitate their achievement of sustained physical, social, emotional, and economic well-being. ORR intends to achieve these goals through increasing Afghan combat survivors’ access to and engagement with effective, holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed services. In support of this effort, through this grant program, ORR will also fund the establishment of a national network of culturally responsive providers specialized in meeting the needs of Afghan arrivals for such services.
