A Welcoming Start to a New Beginning
The Program of Initial Resettlement (PIR) is a three-month support program designed to help newly arrived refugees establish a strong foundation for their new lives in the United States. Through essential services, personalized guidance, and community-based support, PIR helps refugees navigate the initial stages of resettlement and begin their journey toward stability, independence, and self-sufficiency.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to welcoming refugees with dignity, compassion, and respect. Our dedicated PIR team works to ensure that eligible newcomers receive essential resettlement services, including safe and appropriate housing, basic household necessities, access to community resources, and guidance to help them navigate their new surroundings.
We recognize that building a successful future begins with meeting fundamental needs and establishing a sense of security and belonging. To support this transition, we collaborate with public agencies, community organizations, and private-sector partners to connect refugees with essential resources and services tailored to their individual needs.
Through compassionate service, practical assistance, and strong community partnerships, the Program of Initial Resettlement empowers refugees to navigate the challenges of starting over, build meaningful connections, and take the first steps toward a stable and independent future in their new communities.
Our goal is to ensure that every newcomer receives a welcoming start, the support they need to rebuild their lives, and the opportunity to build a brighter future in the United States.
