TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:  Office of Refugee Resettlement Refugee Individual Development Accounts Program Indicators

PURPOSE: Data will be collected from all grantees of Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) Refugee Individual Development Accounts (IDA) discretionary grant program to accompany grantees’ quarterly/semi-annual standard ACF Performance Progress Report (OMB Approval Number 0970-0406). Quarterly reports are required for grant recipients whose project period start date was September 30, 2021, and are expected to be used for reporting through October 2026. Semi-annual reports are required for grant recipients with a project period start date of September 30, 2025, onwards. 

Data indicators track outcomes that provide information about programs’ community outreach, services, and impact to refugee communities. Performance data will continue to be used to assess grantees’ progress towards meeting program objectives, identify monitoring and technical assistance needs, and evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Refugee IDA Program. 

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: (e.g. states or type of non-profit): Refugee IDA Program grantees include various types of non-profit organizations.

    2. The collection is low-burden for respondents and low-cost for the Federal Government.
    3. The collection is non-controversial and does not raise issues of concern to other federal agencies.
