The purpose of SORP is to provide comprehensive case management and activities for participants that aim to support their integration and wellness, including gaining access to mainstream services within their respective communities so they may live independently for as long as possible. Through collaboration with local service providers, SORP providers must engage the refugee communities most in need of services and ensure that outreach and case management services are provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner. An additional program goal is to help older refugees to become naturalized United States (US) citizens, so that they may receive federal benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Successful SORP proposals demonstrate the applicant’s ability to improve access, services, and outcomes for the eligible population by focusing on the following areas: Assessing needs of older refugees and coordinating the appropriate services, including those that are not available in the community. Creating opportunities that enable older refugees to live independently as long as possible. Developing opportunities for older refugees to connect with their communities to avoid isolation. Helping older refugees access mainstream aging services in the community by establishing or expanding working relationships with state or local agencies on aging.
