About OHSEPR
The U.S. Repatriation Program is managed by the Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) within the Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
OHSEPR:
- Coordinates with state and territorial human services departments, as well as local service providers and nongovernmental organizations, to provide temporary assistance to eligible repatriates in their state or territory of final destination.
- Leads all federal emergency repatriation planning and operations conducted as part of the U.S. Repatriation Program.
- Makes all eligibility determinations for the U.S. Repatriation Program.
When activated by OHSEPR to support an emergency repatriation operation, states and territories execute their state emergency repatriation plans to provide temporary assistance to returning eligible U.S. citizens at ports of entry.
Please visit OHSEPR’s webpage for programmatic and policy guidance.
