New Milford Refugee Resettlement

Families fled violence and persecution.

They were offered safety and a path to
rebuild their lives.

Policies shift, promises fluctuate, but
the need for housing, employment support, and community remains constant.

We are committed to keeping our promise,
and meeting the need.

We are 10 years old!

Founded in 2016, New Milford
Refugee Resettlement (NMRR) has helped six families
become independent, productive members of our community!

We have a 100% success record

Our financial agreement with our
families is structured with a gradual reduction of support, so that at the end
of one year, the family can
be
fully independent financially. Throughout that time, our volunteers continue to
help the family members enroll in school, set up bank accounts, find doctors
and dentists, access social services and food banks, find tutors and ESL
classes, get their drivers’ licenses,
and find employment.

The need is great

Refugee
support programs that have
been
critical to helping families all over the world for over 60 years, have
been dismantled. Our
legal, and fully vetted refugee families, are in a new round of
documentation and legal requirements that we are working to resolve side by
side with them.

Your Contribution

We are a 100% volunteer
organization , and the core work of arranging housing,
employment, education, healthcare, and enabling successful life in
the community requires a lot of time and funding. Your generous
contribution will enable these families to find safety, and
contribute to the fabric of our community.
