What services do new arrivals receive?
Through our local resettlement partners, and with the help of relatives, co-sponsors and volunteers, LIRS must assure that arriving refugees are met at the airport and that their basic needs are met. A list of essential material goods is on this page. Essential services include initial housing, referrals to health programs and screenings, registering children in school, and applying for social security cards. Additionally, local affiliates must assure that new arrivals receive an appropriate orientation to their local community and what to expect during the resettlement process.
