As a resettlement partner, it is our job to help these individuals get to a place of self-sufficiency. with no funds, no network of support, and lacking the language and cultural knowledge to successfully navigate a new place. Once they are granted refugee status, these individuals begin the resettlement process which involves a minimum of 24 months of screenings and extensive background checks before they can enter the U.S. Resettlement is the act of guiding and assisting refugees who have been forced to leave behind their homes due to war, persecution and violence as they seek protection and work to rebuild their lives in a new country.Īfter fleeing their home country, most refugees spend between five and 20 years living in refugee camps awaiting approval to resettle permanently in a safe environment. Our Afghan refugee neighbors need us, along with the 82.4 million forcibly displaced people around the world, and we are honored to serve as the warm welcome they deserve from the moment they first arrive in Pittsburgh. Hello Neighbor is now federally approved to resettle refugees in Pittsburgh and across Allegheny County, while continuing to provide post-resettlement support to refugee and immigrant families.
