The United States Resettles thousands of refugees every year. Some of these refugees have many positive attributes in owning and managing a small business including many business ideas, experience, training, and a strong desire to succeed in the U.S.A. As a result, these refugees want to start their own business as an alternative to employment. Unfortunately, they cannot realize this dream because of lack of capital. Also, it is impossible for these refugees to borrow money from the traditional lending sources due to their inability to meet the stringent criteria of the traditional lenders. It was precisely to overcome these challenges that the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services established the Microenterprise Development (MED) Program. The MED program is a discretionary grant. Its main objectives are to 1) assist refugees in becoming economically self-sufficient, 2) assist refugee serving communities galvanize resources to strengthen their capacities and continue serving refugees at an expanded and sustainable level, and 3) enhance the integration of refugees to the mainstream and realize the American Dream. Thus, it is critical to collect data so as to determine whether or not the program is achieving its intended these objectives.
