Additional Requirements
Local government agencies, non-profit community organizations and/or service providers, including those with IRS 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) determinations, located in the District that have demonstrated experience working with the refugee population are encouraged to apply. For the Refugee Medical Screening program, the Applicant must be a licensed health care facility or site and may include but not limited to federally qualified health care providers, local health departments, other non-profit community health care centers or clinics. Continuing conditions of eligibility are that the information in the application is complete and truthful and that the Applicant at all times is able to meet any material conditions stated in its application. For instance, if an applicant’s ability to fulfill the terms of the grant is based on the availability of skilled staff and those staff should leave after the application’s submittal or the grant award to the Grantee, the Grantee has the responsibility to advise DHS in writing of this change in material conditions. Another example of change in material conditions that could result in the loss of eligibility would be the loss of Grantee’s tax-exempt status
