What We Do
We accompany our client in all aspects of their resettlement. We provide housing by linking clients with hosts when feasible, or by contributing towards rent. We provide monthly stipends and help clients gain access to medical care and educational opportunities, including language and job-related instruction. We assist with liaison with lawyers; and with transportation, job searches, and navigating bureaucratic offices.
We advocate for closing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers and for an immigration system that meets human needs rather than demonizing and punishing immigrants.
