Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2022 ACF ORR ZZ 0163
The Services to Afghan Survivors Impacted by Combat (SASIC) grant is a one-time, competitive Fiscal Year 2022 funding opportunity offered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is a discretionary grant (CFDA 93.576) designed to address the serious and often long-lasting effects of combat-related trauma among newly arrived Afghans who entered the United States under Operation Allies Refuge and Operation Allies Welcome and who are eligible under the Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act. The central aim is to help Afghan combat trauma survivors move toward sustained physical, social, emotional, and economic well-being by improving their access to services that are effective, holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed.
A key feature of the SASIC program is its focus on integrated support rather than isolated services. Funded recipients are expected to deliver coordinated assistance that can include medical care, mental health and psychological supports, and social work services. These supports may be provided directly by the grantee or arranged through referrals to qualified partners and affiliates, emphasizing a wraparound approach that recognizes how trauma can affect health, family stability, employment readiness, community integration, and long-term self-sufficiency. The program places strong emphasis on culturally responsive care, meaning services should be delivered in ways that reflect Afghan cultural context, language needs, and community realities, with the goal of increasing engagement and reducing barriers that commonly prevent trauma survivors from seeking or continuing care.
Beyond individual service delivery, ORR also intends for this grant to help build lasting capacity across the country by establishing a national network of providers with specialized expertise in serving Afghan arrivals impacted by combat. In practice, this means applicants should be prepared not only to serve clients, but also to contribute to a broader service ecosystem that strengthens provider coordination, improves culturally appropriate and trauma-informed practices, and expands the availability of specialized supports where Afghan newcomers are resettling. The overall intent is to ensure that survivors are not left navigating fragmented systems on their own, and that communities have better-connected and better-prepared providers to meet complex trauma-related needs.
The opportunity is open to a wide range of eligible applicants, including state, county, city, township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for the nonprofit categories). ORR anticipated making about 50 awards, with an award ceiling of $3,000,000 per award, indicating the program is intended to support substantial service capacity in multiple locations or through larger-scale networks.
In terms of key administrative details, the funding opportunity number is HHS 2022 ACF ORR ZZ 0163. It was posted on September 1, 2022, with an original application deadline of October 20, 2022, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the deadline date. Applicants were cautioned about two practical submission risks at the time: first, SAM.gov entity validation delays due to high demand, which could slow legal name and address validation and potentially disrupt registration and submission timelines; and second, a planned Grants.gov system outage tied to a cloud migration (September 23 through September 29, 2022), with applicants encouraged to download all application materials and attachments in advance so they could continue preparing during the downtime.Apply for HHS 2022 ACF ORR ZZ 0163
