Refugee Resettlement

The goal of the refugee resettlement program is to promote economic self-sufficiency within the shortest possible time after a refugee's entrance into the state through the planned and coordinated use of support services, with cash and medical assistance as transitional aid where necessary, to achieve the self-sufficiency goal.

Who Is Eligible?

Persons who are identified as refugees or Cuban/Haitian entrants by immigration identification cards issued by the U. S. Immigrations and Naturalization Services (INS).
