Refugee Resettlement - Help Now Needed!
From Don Weber: We are expecting a refugee family in the very near future, and there are now a number of committees that will help to settle them. I will list the committees below and if you have interest in any of them, please email me at
[email protected], and I will put you in touch with the committee chair so that you may participate in the committee's activities.
The Committees are:
- Housing-identify and arrange for housing
- Clothing/furnishings-obtain, usually through donations, clothing and household furnishings
- Finance-establish family budget, help to obtain bank accounts/insurance, maintaining records of contributions in support of the family and related disbursements
- Interfacing with government agencies-Social security, CT Dept. of Social Services, etc.
- ESL-enable and teach English
- Education-Ensure the entire family is able to pursue appropriate educational opportunities
- Transportation-initially help to drive family as necessary and possibly eventually obtaining a car
- Health-facilitate the family receiving appropriate medical services
- Employment Assistance-provide support to family members to obtain and succeed in a job
- Acculturation-integrate the family into American society
Those who volunteered when we resettled the Iraqi family several years ago found the experience both interesting and rewarding!
