Refugee Resettlement
Refugee Resettlement
The federal Department of State works with national voluntary/private resettlement agencies to decide the number of refugees to be settled in a particular region or state. The national resettlement agencies work with partner, local affiliates in states. Five Michigan agencies, funded through the federal Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) in the Department of State, provide initial reception and placement services for the first 30 to 90 days in the United States for people who have just arrived in the country with refugee status.
The following agencies in Michigan assist with that initial resettlement process:
