Program Highlight: Building Stability and Hope: Addressing the Refugee Housing Crisis

The housing crisis in the East Bay presents urgent challenges for the most vulnerable in our community, including refugees who arrive with little more than hope for a safer future. At JFCS East Bay, we are committed to standing with refugees, providing immediate housing support and the resources they need to build stable lives.

Our Resettlement team works tirelessly to ensure that every refugee we serve has a safe place to call home. From emergency shelter to securing permanent housing, we are there every step of the way. This critical work is not just about finding a roof over someone’s head—it’s about creating a foundation for opportunity and belonging.

Housing is just the beginning. Refugees face a host of challenges when starting anew, and we address these with a holistic approach. We provide access to job readiness programs, language classes, legal assistance, and mental health services, all designed to support successful integration into the community. By collaborating with local partners, we connect refugees to vital resources and opportunities, empowering them to rebuild their lives with dignity.

This work is urgent. As policy changes loom on the horizon, we are redoubling our efforts to resettle refugees quickly and ensure they have the stability they deserve. With your partnership, we can rise to this moment—providing housing, safety, and hope for those who need it most.

Together, we can help refugees not only survive but thrive in their new home. Thank you for standing with us to create a future of stability, resilience, and love.
