Refugee Resettlement and Placement (R/P)
Refugee Services is contracted by Church World Services (CWS) and Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) to provide refugee resettlement services. The R/P program assists newly arrived refugees during their first three months in the country. Each refugee family is assigned a case manager who works with them to ensure basic needs are met, community orientation is completed, all documentation is secured, families are connected to services they are eligible for, and children are registered for school. A resettlement plan is formulated with each family based on their individual needs.

Refugee Supportive Housing Network (RSHN)
The Refugee Supportive Housing Network seeks referrals of refugees and asylees who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. RSHN offers short-term rental assistance and case management services focusing on establishing a true home for those enrolled. Each participating family signs a letter of understanding to work towards self-sufficiency while they receive support from the program. Refugee Services works in partnership with Episcopal Community Services and Hmong American Partnership to provide culturally appropriate services to families.
