About the Authors
Save Resettlement is run by three refugee rights advocates with expertise in bipartisan legislative reform.
Annie Healion, Policy Director
With expertise crafting durable policy solutions at home and abroad, Annie has led policy reforms that have laid the foundation for their fields. As an Advocacy Officer at the IRC, Annie developed multi-year policy infrastructure and advocacy strategies that delivered over $5M in appropriations and established sustained bipartisan leadership on resettlement. Her international policy experience, spanning over 50 countries, positions her to architect Save Resettlement’s bipartisan, resilient policy platforms.
Megan Schwab, Advocacy Director
A seasoned policy strategist who has spent nearly a decade advancing innovative, bipartisan legislation, Megan is an expert in shaping national strategies to advance refugee protections. She supported over 22 field offices and building relationships with partners and policymakers across 14+ states—red and blue alike—securing bipartisan legislative wins and millions in investment in Arizona, Texas, Washington, New York, and Montana. Schwab holds an MSc in International Social and Public Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science, where her research focused on migration policy.
Olivia Whiteley, Strategy Director
As an inaugural advocacy officer with The Refugee Advocacy Lab, Olivia helped build the resettlement community’s initial attempt to institutionally adapt to the first Trump Administration. She pioneered a model of bottom-up, bipartisan advocacy to rebuild America’s consensus on refugees, passing some of the Country’s most progressive refugee integration policies in both red and blue states. As the U.S. Federal Advocacy Advisor for The IRC, Olivia adapted that model into a multi-year bipartisan congressional strategy for securing the future of U.S. Refugee Program—which serves as the foundation for Save Resettlement’s work.

About the Data
We believe in data transparency. Learn more about the data on this site below–or contact us for further information.
REFUGEE ARRIVALS
Datapoints referencing refugee arrivals prior to 2025 are drawn from the Refugee Processing Center, which is run by the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
When information from the Refugee Processing Center is unavailable, we contact local resettlement leaders for more accurate data. We most recently contacted these individuals in June 2025 and plan to conduct outreach again in early 2026. Updated data is only available for some states.
RESETTLEMENT OFFICES
Data on resettlement offices also comes from the Refugee Processing Center. We used the RPC’s January 2025 list of all resettlement offices contracted to deliver initial resettlement services, known as Reception and Placement services, to build our maps and identify offices ending R&P services by parent agency.
Due to their withdrawal from the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, USCCB and EMM offices are marked as ending R&P services unless other information is available publicly. Individual offices with other parent agencies are also marked as announced publicly. We plan to conduct individual outreach to all resettlement agencies to confirm continued participation in R&P beginning in early 2026.
If you are looking for information that was removed from the RPC website, please contact us.
