Bill > S06070

This bill directs the New York State Department of Social Services to establish a refugee resettlement program. The program aims to assist refugees in achieving economic and social self-sufficiency, supporting victims of human trafficking, and providing proper foster care for unaccompanied refugee minors. The program can partner with public and private entities to provide various services, including civic and social engagement, mentoring, case management, employment and training, language instruction, and health services. The program is not contingent on 100% federal funding and can be funded by the federal, state, or local governments.
