LSS Refugee Resettlement Program

LSS Refugee Resettlement Program provides case management, job placement and supportive information and referral to refugees.  Refugee resettlement includes initial services, such as securing permanent housing, welcoming refugees when they arrive at the airport, coordinating initial food and clothing, school enrollment, conducting initial ESL classes, and educating the refugees about American culture and customs as well as continued assistance up to five years after arrival.  Learning English and helping refugees find sustainable employment are two main focuses of this program.  In the past five years, LSS has resettled refugee individuals and families from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Burma, Congo, and other countries.  It is our mission to act compassionately, serve humbly and lead courageously.
