Refugee Services Office

The Utah Refugee Services Office was established in 2008 by the Governor of Utah at the request of refugee communities. The goal was to provide coordinated, comprehensive services to refugees resettled in our state.

The Refugee Services Office houses the Utah State Refugee Coordinator and serves as the designated state agency to receive and direct money from the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Most ORR funds are granted to community service providers and other agencies. View current grant opportunities here.
