Refugee Resettlement Move to HHS
On September 30, 2025, the President ordered that administration of the United States program of initial refugee resettlement — including resettlement grants and contracts awarded to public or private nonprofit agencies for initial services to refugees arriving in the United States — be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement. The action is intended to centralize responsibility, eliminate duplication, coordinate with State and local jurisdictions, and promote efficient use of taxpayer dollars.
