Destination Reception Assistance Act

This bill establishes the Destination Reception Assistance Act, creating a federal program to provide medium-term support services to certain immigrants released into the U.S. by Homeland Security. It directly affects individuals granted parole, placed in removal proceedings, or with pending asylum applications ("eligible arrivals"). The program funds local governments and nonprofits to deliver concrete services including housing assistance, healthcare, job training, legal aid for work authorization/asylum applications, childcare, transportation support, and case management. Administered through a New Arrival Services Board and local community boards, it allocates $3 billion annually (2025-2028) to prioritize communities with high concentrations of eligible arrivals facing acute service needs.
