The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) provides new populations with the opportunity to achieve their full potential in the United States. Our programs provide people in need with critical resources to assist them in becoming integrated members of American society.

ORR provides time-limited cash and medical assistance to new arrivals, as well as support for case management services, English as a Foreign Language classes, and job readiness and employment services — all designed to facilitate refugees’ successful transition to life in the U.S. and help them to attain self-sufficiency.

ORR supports additional programs to serve all eligible populations beyond the first 12 months post-arrival, including microenterprise development, ethnic community self-help, and agricultural partnerships. In addition, ORR provides services for survivors of torture. Below is a list of ORR’s resettlement programs.
