To foster health and well-being by providing federal leadership, partnership and resources for the compassionate and effective delivery of human services
The Refugee Family Child Care Microenterprise Development Project (RFCCMED) is designed to support refugees in establishing licensed family child care (FCC) businesses, thereby achieving economic self-sufficiency. The program focuses on providing refugees with training and technical assistance in professional child care and microenterprise development, along with financial literacy. Additionally, it guides refugees through the child care licensing process and offers direct financial assistance to prepare their homes for child care business operations. RFCCMED has three primary objectives: assisting refugees in launching licensed FCC businesses, aiding refugee families in accessing quality FCC services that meet the developmental needs of their children, and helping refugees navigate mainstream child care services.
