Welcoming Refugees

Giving refugees the welcome they deserve

As refugee admissions have declined sharply due to a reduced refugee admissions cap, Opening Doors’ Refugee Programs continue to welcome refugees and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders who have been forced to navigate increasingly limited pathways to safety. Many SIV holders must now fund their own travel to the United States before receiving support upon arrival.

From preparing homes and coordinating arrivals to connecting families with housing, healthcare, schools, and employment, our culturally and linguistically competent team helps newcomers build stability and belonging from day one. Through our refugee resettlement and extended case management programs, we provide individualized support during the first months after arrival and beyond, helping families navigate challenges and thrive in their new communities.
