How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Coalition-Based Resettlement Modelmethodology: coalition-based resettlementBy mobilizing a network of community partners, we produce more sustainable refugee integration because shared responsibility increases resource capacity and local ownership of outcomes.
- Community Reinvestment Through Property Rehabilitationmethodology: community_reinvestment_through_property_rehabilitationBy acquiring and rehabilitating vacant properties, we produce safe, affordable housing and counter neighborhood disinvestment because physical revitalization attracts further community engagement and stabilizes refugee-serving infrastructure.
- Integrated Support for Self-Sufficiencymethodology: integrated-support-for-self-sufficiencyBy providing coordinated access to housing, education, and essential services, we produce refugee self-sufficiency because integrated support reduces systemic barriers and accelerates long-term integration.
