The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Case Management Pilot Program (CMPP) provides voluntary case management and other services to eligible aliens.
The program is managed by a National Board chaired by the DHS Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties and comprised of nonprofits with experience providing and evaluating case management programs for immigrants and asylees.
CMPP funds are awarded to nonprofit organizations and local governments through the National Board. CMPP services include, among others: mental health services; trafficking screening; legal orientation programs; cultural orientation programs; connections to social services; and departure planning and reintegration services for individuals returning to their home countries.
As a pilot program, CMPP is required to be evaluated.[1] CMPP evaluation requirements are included in the Department’s FY 2024 DHS Annual Evaluation Plan.
