Description: The Administration for Children and Families&apos; (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has supported microenterprise development projects since 1991 through the award of discretionary grants to a variety of public agencies, community economic development agencies, local mutual assistance associations, and voluntary agencies. Organizations with successful programs have typically been those with a long-term commitment to microenterprise, particularly in the areas of providing access to lending and in its adaption to the refugee experience. Grantees under this program have committed agency resources to support refugee programs. Their work in refugee microenterprise development has been consistent with the agency&apos;s overall mission.
