Reception and Placement (R & P) Services
Before refugees arrive in the New York area, caseworkers ensure that their new clients have safe places to live and are provided with food, furniture, and basic household goods. Reception and Placement Services also include medical treatment, employment counseling, individualized case management and acculturation assistance. R & P Services last throughout a refugee's first 30 days in the United States and can be extended for another three months through IRC New York's Matching Grant Program.

The Matching Grant program is a federally funded intensive early-employment program to help refugee participants achieve self-sufficiency within four months of arrival in the U.S. . Every dollar donated to the IRC Matching Grant Program by individuals, foundations, and corporate donors is matched with a donation by the Office of Refugee Resettlement Department of Health and Human Services.
