Description
Through their Refugee Services Program , Catholic Charities assists individuals and families that must leave their homelands due to the fear of persecution based on race,
religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, and/or political opinion. Their refugee resettlement programs address a wide array of needs, including initial resettlement, employment services, school support for children, and long-term, intensive case management. They promote successful integration by providing holistic, wraparound, and trauma-informed services that focus on uplifting the dignity and respect of each individual and their unique culture and traditions. Through this program they serve refugees, asylees, and SIV holders.
From greeting new refugees at the airport to providing cultural orientation and case management support, the Refugee Services Program gets refugees started on the path to rebuilding their lives in a new place. To accomplish this, Catholic Charities provides case management, employment services, housing and furnishing support, food assistance, cultural orientation, applications or referrals to relevant services including, for eligible clients, to their Preferred Communities Program, which provides culturally sensitive counseling, peer support, and intensive case management to those who have experienced trauma or need extra support to achieve self-sufficiency.
