The United States has begun relocating a group of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants. The International Rescue Committee is providing services for these individuals and families, including resettling them to new communities across the US, including Arizona!

Every holiday season, the IRC in Phoenix conducts a Holiday Giving Campaign to welcome refugees and other immigrants to our community. Through the Holiday Giving Campaign, individuals, families, and organizations sponsor a newly-arrived refugee family, providing them with gifts of much needed items.

The IRC will help thousands of refugees in the coming year, most of whom fled violence in Afghanistan. Refugees have a proven attitude of perseverance and determination. Most have a strong desire to create healthy homes and prosperous futures. Refugees are culturally diverse and responsible community members who are eager to establish themselves in and contribute to American society. You can help your community by renting your property to these newcomers as they rebuild their lives.

Local volunteers and communities are critical to successful resettlement, even more so during COVID-19
