Refugee
Programs
JFCS's Refugee
Resettlement Services Department is committed to
assisting individuals and families legally admitted into
the United States who are fleeing persecution in other
countries. JFCS is dedicated to the healthy transition
of refugees into the culture of the United States and
Tucson. With your help, we have assisted hundreds of
families from the former Soviet Union, Bosnia, Iran,
Vietnam and Africa settle locally into the Tucson
culture. In order to promote successful integration into
our culture, we offer intensive services to assist with
the language barriers, citizenship application, housing,
job development and placement, and physical and
emotional health. Some of our programs include:
-
Employment
skills-building
-
Relocation
-
Assist a refugee
family
-
Donate household

Employment
Skills-Building
Although the transition to the United States can be
difficult, we believe that self-sufficiency is an
important first step toward self-sustainability. To that
end, JFCS provides employment assessments and job
placements for refugees. This program provides financial
assistance, case management, and job development.

Relocation
Adjusting to life in the US can be wrought with cultural
challenges. To minimize these difficulties, JFCS offers
more intensive orientations to the health care system in
the United States as well as specialized programming in
marriage education and mentoring.

Assist a refugee
family
Refugees often need assistance in adapting to the their
new lives in Tucson. This transition is eased with the
assistance of local community members who teach refugees
about daily living in their new home.
If you would like to help a family during this
transition, please contact 795-0300 x 253
Donate Household
Items
Refugee families typically arrive in America with little
to no possessions. That’s why the donation of household
goods is so important. Your donation of household items
and services is always welcome and greatly appreciated.
We will accept many items in good usable condition such
as home furnishings for Refugee Resettlement Services.
Free pickup is available for large items.
If you would like to donate household items to the
Refugee program, please contact 795-0300 x 252.
