This final report describes and evaluates the Favorable Alternate Sites Project (FASP), developed in response to the oversettlement of refugees (particularly Southeast Asian refugees) in particular areas of the country. The project's goals were to reduce welfare dependency, increase the ability of FASP refugees to be self-supporting, and reduce emigration. The findings in this report are based on two-week site visits to Arizona and North Carolina in February 1983 and March 1984 as well as on interviews with various staff involved with the project. Following an introductory chapter, Chapters II and III describe FASP implementation in Arizona and North Carolina, including information on the states' role, the role of private agencies, job placement and vocational training, English-as-a-second-language classes, FASP resettlement versus other resettlement, and outcomes of migration and employment. Chapter IV analyzes the findings from the two states, concluding that a low welfare dependency rate was achieved in both states (less than 1% in Phoenix, 9% in Charlotte, 13% in Greensboro, and 27% in Tucson as compared to 82% for typical refugees in their first year). Emigration from the sites varied greatly (3% from Greensboro, 52% from Charlotte, 27% from Tucson, and 45% from Phoenix). The meanings of these findings are analyzed. The report concludes with a discussion of the influence of specific design features of the project on outcomes. Extensive appendices give information about the project workers and case histories of the refugees served. (CG)
