Purpose

The Case Management Pilot Program (CMPP) is a federally funded program that provides case management and associated services to asylum seekers and other noncitizens. The goal of CMPP is to ensure that individuals seeking asylum or other immigration relief have access to voluntary, trauma-informed case management and social services. CMPP is overseen by a National Board, which provides funding to nonprofit organizations and local governments to deliver CMPP services in their communities. CWS is the Fiscal Agent of the National Board and is responsible for managing awards to the CMPP service providers (subgrantees).
