Qualified non- citizens Qualified non-citizens are individuals who are admitted to the United States with a lawful immigrant status. The person who is granted that status either enters the United States as a lawful permanent resident or will be eligible to become a lawful permanent resident in the future. A lawful permanent resident is eligible to be naturalized as a U.S. citizen usually after five years of lawful permanent residency in the U.S. Qualified victims’ services program A nongovernmental, nonprofit, community-based program receiving moneys administered by the Oregon Department of Human Services or the U.S. Department of Justice, or a program administered by a tribal government, that offers safety planning, counseling, support or advocacy services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking. RCF Residential care facility Community-based facility which houses six or more aged or disabled adults and which provides 24-hour assistance with activities of daily living, health, and social needs. These are similar to an Assisted Living Facility (ALFs) except residents of RCFs can either reside in separate, individual living units or shared units. In general, RCF residents tend to require more care than those in an ALF.
