From initial services like housing and benefits enrollment to cultural orientation and community friendships, we support new neighbors in establishing the foundation that they need to thrive in the United States.

Refugee Resettlement

CWS Georgetown’s refugee resettlement case managers, many of whom are former refugees and immigrants themselves, provide initial welcome and core services to new refugee neighbors within the first 90 days after arrival. From initial welcome services like airport pick-up, welcome meals, and housing to connecting to social, health, educational, and career services, and learning the necessary skills to support their new life in the United States, refugee resettlement case managers are providing the building blocks for long-term success and self-sufficiency.

Housing

As we welcome new neighbors, one of our biggest challenges can be obtaining safe and affordable housing. CWS Housing staff begin identifying possible permanent housing even before new neighbors have arrived and then partner with landlords and their new tenants to ensure clients understand their rights and responsibilities.

Community Sponsorhip

Community sponsorship is your opportunity to welcome a new refugee family and empower them with friendship and support as they integrate into their new home. As a community sponsor, your group will partner with CWS Georgetown to welcome a refugee family and help them begin life in the United States.
