BACKGROUND: As a county impacted by refugee resettlement, Contra Costa County has been receiving federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) funding since 1954. Because fewer refugees have been resettled in Contra Costa County in recent years, and many former refugees are now naturalized citizens, ORR funding has decreased and the refugees employment component is phasing out completely as of December 31 , 1999.
