Michigan has always been one of the most welcoming states in the country. Its residents are compassionate people recognizing the importance of human dignity for all people. Building this well-being for people is much like a construction project. It requires resources, expertise, and collaboration. Building a successful, thriving community requires the same things. Michigan's Refugee Services programs provide refugees with the resources they need to rebuild their lives in order to survive, thrive, and contribute.
The State of Michigan's Refugee Services program is located in the Office of Global Michigan. Global Michigan's Refugee Services program and its staff supports the effective resettlement and integration of refugees in Michigan, ensuring their basic needs are met upon arrival so that they can live in dignity and achieve their highest potential.
