H.O.M.E. Program

 Housing • Opportunity • Mutuality • Empowerment

Empower Your Church to Make a Difference

Asylum seekers are in one of the most vulnerable situations within the U.S. Having been forced from their homes, they're lawfully permitted to live in the U.S. But they're unable to earn income for the first 6 to 9 months while waiting on work authorization approval.

They need stability and belonging. They need your support to get it.

Through World Relief's H.O.M.E. program you can empower your church to welcome asylum seekers in a way that honors the God-given dignity of all involved. Through the H.O.M.E program, you foster and support Housing, Opportunity, Mutuality, and Empowerment with the guidance of World Relief.

Your Opportunity to Have an Impact

Support

Build a team of 3 to 6 volunteers to support a family seeking asylum through weekly home visits for six months (World Relief provides training and ongoing support).

Provide

Provide rental assistance for six months (total of $8,400) to support the family while they wait to receive work authorization. If you have a rental property available, you can offer this space in lieu of providing financial assistance.

Coordinate

Coordinate with World Relief staff members who provide case management services and referral services to other resources the family may need.
