Possible uses and use restrictions...
The Wilson/Fish demonstration program diverts a portion of funds earmarked for the State-administered program for refugee cash and medical assistance and social service to conduct alternative projects which promote refugee early employment and self-sufficiency. Funds may be used only for the purposes set forth in the grant award. Assistance is limited to refugees, asylees, including Cuban and Haitian entrants, Amerasian immigrants and trafficking victims, as defined in the authorizing Acts. The refugee must document his immigration status in order to be eligible for assistance. Federal policy governs other eligibility factors. The scope of services available to refugees from Wilson/Fish grantees is similar to that of State-administered Refugee Resettlement Programs, which in turn is similar to regular domestic public assistance programs.
