Program Information
The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) will fund qualified social service organizations, both nonprofit, governmental or private, to provide humanitarian relief. These items would include a form of shelter, food, clothing, health care, navigation, transportation, volunteer and donations management, incident management, and wrap-around supportive services to migrant families and individuals who have recently entered the United States.
Special considerations will be given to qualified Non-Profit organizations with experience working with migrant or immigrant populations.
Grant agreements to qualified providers are not to exceed $1,750,000.00 per entity. This funding is estimated to cover up to 400 migrants for six weeks at a cost of approximately $139 per day per person, including infrastructure and wraparound services to move people from sheltering into more stable short-term housing and may include some mid-term housing. No costs beyond $139 per day per person will be reimbursable.
These funds are authorized and budgeted through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds, appropriated and otherwise made available pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-75-226.
