Making the announcement, Minister Roderic O’Gorman said:
“I am delighted to announce today that 113 local migrant integration projects will be funded under the Communities Integration Fund. Over the last few years, communities across Ireland have played a vital role in supporting those who have come and made their lives here. I’m confident that this fund will help support those efforts”.
The Communities Integration Fund has been in place since 2017 and arises from Action 51 of the Migrant Integration Strategy, which calls for funding to be made available to local communities throughout Ireland to promote the integration of migrants and refugees.
Since its inception, the Communities Integration Fund has now supported over 930 projects, with grant funding totaling €4.32 million.
