You can do what the federal government won’t: fund resettlement. Help a local office to keep their doors open and their lights on.
Three out of Massachusetts’s eleven resettlement offices will not resettle refugees after October.
Declines in arrivals and federal funding have forced The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Episcopal Migration Ministries to withdraw from the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program this fall. Together, these two resettlement agencies oversee 78 of the U.S.’s 360 resettlement offices.
Catholic Charities Boston, The Organization for Refugee and Immigrant Success in Worcester, and Catholic Charities of Springfield are three of those offices.
Donating to these offices can help position these agencies to resume resettlement should the federal landscape change.
To change the federal landscape, contact your representatives.
Massachusetts deserve a resettlement program it can rely on.
Refugees do too.
