COLORADO REFUGEE SERVICES PROGRAM (CRSP)

PROGRAM SUMMARY

The Colorado Department of Human Services, through the Colorado Refugee Services Program (CRSP),

is the single State agency with responsibility for the overall supervision and coordination of this program

in Colorado, and for the development and supervision of the annual state plan for Colorado. CRSP

operates under the Refugee Act of 1980 and Title IV of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as

amended.

CRSP serves eligible populations (see General Definitions in section 3.320) who are residents of

Colorado for up to five years after their date of entry into the United States or the date status was granted.

These eligible populations are considered qualified aliens and are exempt from the five year bar for public

assistance (with exceptions under the category of Unaccompanied Refugee Minors). These populations

may access public assistance programs provided by the Colorado Department of Human Services and

the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, such as, but not limited to: Colorado

Works/TANF, SNAP/Food Assistance, and medical programs provided through the Colorado Department

of Health Care Policy and Financing.

For Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM), CRSP can serve this population through the URM program

until the youth turns twenty-one (21) years of age. If needed, a URM who is no longer in the URM

program can receive CRSP services for up to five years after receiving status that enables him/her to

receive services through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

Service (USCIS) while residing in the United States. An asylee meets the same definition as a

refugee and has been granted asylum status. Individuals admitted to the United States who are

classified by USCIS as “applicants for asylum” are not eligible for CRSP benefits unless they are

Cuban or Haitian (refer to Sections 3.321 C, and 3.330 D).
