REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM:Refugee Resettlement Program helps resettle displaced people who have been designated as legal refugees by the US State Department and the United Nations High Commission on refugees. Refugees and their families flee their countries to escape religious and political persecutions that endanger their lives. Staff of the program provide a wide variety of services: housing, food, school enrollment, access to health care job readiness training, job development and follow up and more. Through services provided by this program refugees acquire cross-cultural information, skills and a social support network needed to gain stability, make a positive personal and social adjustment, maintain family connections and achieve educational, economic and civic participation goals.
