The final Social Services Formula Allocation for federal fiscal year (FFY) 2006, from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement, establishes a $12,193 set- aside for Hmong refugees; 44 Hmong refugees entered Ohio in FFY 2004 and FFY 2005.

Because Summit County has resettled all 44 of the Hmong refugees, ODJFS is issuing a one-time addition to the Refugee Social Services Allocation for Summit County to provide job-development, job referral and orientation, English language training, child care, transportation and interpretation services to Hmong refugees as outlined in 45 CFR 400.154, 45 CFR 400.155 and 45 CFR 400.43 for eligibility.

Any funds remaining at the end of state fiscal year (SFY) 2007 will be carried forward to SFY 2008. The liquidation period for these set-aside funds ends September 30, 2008. Activities for this allocation must be reported on the JFS 02827 report using the following coding:
