One of the most important dimensions of our organization over the past year has been the resettlement of newly arrived refugees. During their first eight months in the country, in partnership with Massachusetts Refugee Resettlement Program, new arrivals receive intensive support including cash assistance, job training, medical care, and English language training.
New arrivals hail from all over the world, including families from Russia, Egypt, Sudan and Somalia. From welcoming a family at the airport to helping individuals to find employment we facilitate new refugees’ paths to self-sufficiency in this new Boston environment. This past year, we have resettled refugees in Boston and Worcester. RIAC’s goal is to help refugees to find a new home in Massachusetts.
