The primary aim of our refugee resettlement program is to move newly arrived refugee families and individuals from total insecurity to stability. When first arriving in the U.S., needs are high. Refugees are given short-term public assistance and expected to establish self-sufficiency quickly, all while contending with formidable language and cultural barriers, and often, lingering trauma and injury. Our resettlement program provides intensive case management and comprehensive transitional assistance to new arrivals during their first year in the U.S., helping them to stabilize and confidently transition as new residents of  New England. By stabilizing our refugee clients, the Institute’s resettlement program ultimately contributes to the vibrancy and prosperity of their new communities.
