Support services available to refugee-eligible clients include employment, health, education, youth mentoring, services for older refugees and foster care for unaccompanied refugee minors through the Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Foster Care (URM) program. VDSS works in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and federally-contracted agencies to administer the URM program.
