Part two in a three-part series, these deep dives better explain the process of refugee resettlement in Kansas. In December, we covered the basics of who refugees are and initial resettlement in the U.S. This month, the focus is on refugee resettlement in Kansas during the first 24 months after arrival, including the efforts of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) in Kansas to help families positively integrate and thrive in their new community.

Refugees and asylees often face difficulties in resuming their careers once resettled in the U.S. The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in NY is working with an extraordinary Special Immigrant Visa holder, Tamana, to rebuild her career in education.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Atlanta is available to help advise which U.S. family reunification program clients are eligible for and assist in filing applications at no cost to the client. 

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Missoula is committed to supporting newly arrived refugees on their journey from harm to home. As part of that commitment, we provide refugees with the basics they will need to start rebuilding their lives here in the U.S. Join our efforts by gathering much needed in-kind donations to assist newly arrived refugee families and individuals as they work to regain control of their future and positively integrate into our community.

Fortunately, new refugees in Colorado who are experiencing serious mental health issues have access to the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s Family Stabilization Program

This past Saturday, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in NY celebrated its 10-year Anniversary at the New Roots Community Farm in the Bronx since its grand opening in 2013!
