The countries most vulnerable to climate change have contributed little to its cause.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in NY gives thanks to Jeff, a landlord who provides critical support and has empathy for the refugee and immigrant community. Jeff's support to ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ clients seeking housing has been impactful.

In December, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Seattle, King County, and DSHS collaborated to organize a wonderful wrap-up event celebrating an innovative partnership that helped provide temporary housing to hundreds of refugees at the former Silver Cloud Hotel in Redmond.

Over the past five years I’ve volunteered with ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in various ways. One of my most intense experiences was spending two weeks at Fort Bliss, one of the U.S. landing sites for Afghan evacuees after the fall of Kabul. I want to share a few highlights from my experience and give you an inside look at what it means to work and walk alongside ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ staff and clients.
