What support is available to refugees in Atlanta?
UNHCR; The UN Refugee Agency

 

Georgia is home to several refugee resettlement agencies that have helped refugees find new homes in the state for more than four decades. Resettlement agencies like the IRC  International Rescue CommitteeNew American Pathways and Catholic Charities Atlanta assist refugees to find housing and employment, register for school or language classes and connect them with necessary social and health services. In 2022, it is estimated that 87 percent of refugees were employed and self-sufficient within 8 months of resettlement and nearly 160 housing units were successfully secured for refugees. 

Refugee-led businesses and organizations in Atlanta are also empowering refugees to succeed. Refuge Coffee Co., a refugee-led non-profit based in Clarkston, is providing job training and employment opportunities to newly resettled refugees. Seventy percent of all trainees and staff members are refugees or immigrants and women make up 74 percent of staff. Refugee Congress is a national nonpartisan organization built and led by former refugees, asylum-seekers, and other vulnerable migrants from all 50 states that advocate for policies and practices that positively impact their communities.
