Refugee Resettlement

At the International Rescue Committee in Laurel, MD, we are dedicated to empowering refugees, asylees, survivors of human trafficking, and other immigrants to build successful lives in America. We provide comprehensive support services designed to meet the immediate and long-term needs of those we assist, including access to furnished homes, financial assistance for rent, essential health care, and nutritious food. Our commitment extends to offering English language classes and training in job skills, financial literacy, and computer proficiency, ensuring that families have the resources they need for a brighter future. We prioritize education for children and facilitate social services, community integration, and legal support on the journey toward residency and citizenship. Our caring team, including case workers and volunteers, warmly welcomes refugees at the airport, committing to making their transition as smooth and supportive as possible.
