World Relief Sacramento

WRS is the largest refugee resettlement agency in Sacramento County, resettling over 4,000 refugees in the past three years. The organization provides resettlement assistance to new arrivals, including welcoming refugee families at the airport, providing them with furnished homes, connecting them to healthcare through the County’s Refugee Health Clinic and other providers, and setting them on the path towards community integration. New refugee arrivals are also referred to WRS’ Employment Services and English programs to help clients achieve self-sufficiency and contribute to the local economy. In the past year, WRS’ Immigration Legal Services department has grown significantly, assisting with green card applications, citizenship, and family reunification services. In June 2018, WRS began piloting new initiatives for refugee women and children. The focus of World Relief Sacramento's programming and work is to assist immigrants and refugees on their journey to integration. We believe that integration or the sense of belonging comes through quality programming and making connections with the community already here through building relationships.
