Assistance, Resources and Resettlement Services
We help foreign-born individuals and families coming through the federal government’s resettlement program find housing and support and help connect them to local services and benefits.
Resettlement
From arriving at the airport to enrolling children in school to learning the city’s bus routes, there’s a lot to take in. We’ll be there to help.
How We Help
Well before a refugee individual’s or family’s arrival, JFCS staff secures housing and provides furniture, food and clothing. We provide essential, immediate and longer term assistance, including but not limited to airport pick-up, referrals to human services benefits, set-up of medical appointments, paperwork, ESL class referrals, peer group guidance and transportation issues.
