Providing safety and security support across the U.S. refugee resettlement agency and affiliate community
About
The U.S. Refugee Resettlement Safety & Security Focal Point (RA SSFP) Forum's goal is to ensure that resettlement agencies and respective affiliates have strengthened safety and security risk management capacity to support delivery of programs.
​
The Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) funds programs that support more than 80,000 refugees a year. The U.S. Resettlement Agency Safety and Security Focal Point (RA SSFP) Forum started in February 2022. It is a coalition of ten resettlement agencies funded by PRM. The Forum is the mechanism that provides safety and security support across the Resettlement Agency and affiliate community.
