Economic Mobility Workgroup

This group is a combination of our previous Employment and Housing Workgroups. Our goal is to bring together community partners and resources that can assist current and former refugees move beyond financial survival into stability and beyond.  Partners that work in the area of housing, employment, financial education, transportation, childcare, and more are welcome to participate.  There are no fees or outside time commitments required to be part of this group.
