Refugee Resettlement Services

A refugee is a person who is forced to leave their home country due to war, persecution, or violence. They are often forced to leave on a moment’s notice. To gain status as a refugee, individuals receive this status by the determination of the US State Department. Catholic Charities is an affiliate resettlement agency for USCCB (United States Catholic Conference of Bishops), one of the few national organizations authorized by the US State Department to resettle refugees.

As a resettlement agency, Catholic Charities works with refugees to ensure that their basic needs are met.
Services include:

• School enrollment for children
• Medical/dental visits
• Housing
• Employment
• Culture education

In addition to resettlement services, Catholic Charities offers service coordination services to primary and secondary migration refugees and immigrant families to help them access community supports and provide individual education to help them adjust to residing in Northeastern Wisconsin.

Interested in welcoming new refugees moving into the community? Catholic Charities is accepting donations to provide refugees with the necesssary day to day items they need. Check out our Welcome Kits for more information:
