Resettling Refugees in America

It may be hard to believe, but millions of people spend decades in refugee camps, unable to return home.  Resettlement in another country is often the only way refugees like Hawo, featured in the video below, have a chance to rebuild their lives.  When refugees arrive in the United States, they have very few possessions to their name.  That is when USCRI and its affiliates step in.  From the moment refugees arrive at the airport, USCRI is there to guide them toward becoming self-sufficient, contributing members of their new community. 

 

Our Resettlement Programs: Address Basic and Immediate Needs We help newly arrived refugee families find and furnish their first apartments, master the public transportation system, enroll their children in school, find a doctor, learn English, and obtain employment.  Refugees are expected to become self-sufficient within the first year of their arrival in the United States. Build Support Systems We assist refugees during the challenging process of overcoming past trauma and grief.  We help them develop new support systems in America.
