White House Looks to Private Sector to Increase Refugee Admissions Outside the Resettlement Program (http://cis.org/rush/white-house-recruits-private-sector-increase-refugee-admissions) By Nayla Rush (http://cis.org/blog/53), July 6, 2016
With the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, the Obama administration is more than ever committed to helping refugees, whether in their host countries in the Middle East or in the United States. U.S. humanitarian assistance to the Syrian crisis reached $5.1 billion this year. President Obama has already pledged to bring into the United States 10,000 Syrian refugees via the refugee resettlement program this fiscal year (which ends September 30).
The administration is also looking for "alternative pathways (http://cis.org/rush/alternative-safe-pathways-syrian-refugees-resettlement-disguise)" to admit more Syrian refugees outside the refugee resettlement program, to meet the target set by the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) of providing at least 480,000 places worldwide through resettlement and private sponsorships (such as employment contracts, student scholarships etc.) to Syrian refugees over three years (2016-2018).
