Welcome Teams
Welcome Teams are groups of dedicated volunteers who befriend and mentor newly arrived refugee families as they acclimate to life in the U.S. These teams assist with navigating local systems, building English skills, understanding cultural norms, and accessing essential services. By providing friendship and practical support, Welcome Teams play a crucial role in helping families transition smoothly and feel welcomed in their new community.
Housing Solutions
Our housing program helps refugee and immigrant families gain access to safe, stable, and affordable housing. In the East Valley, we provide subsidies to help families stabilize on their path to being fully self-sufficient. Beyond just housing, we offer guidance on managing finances, understanding rental agreements, and maintaining their homes, which helps families build a secure foundation for their future.
