About

R&P requires that BRS staff meet all refugees at the airport, take them to their apartment, which has basic furnishings, seasonable clothing, and culturally appropriate food. Shortly after arrival, BRS staff help refugees to apply for a SS card, register children in school, and connecting refugees with social and language services. Refugees receive extensive cultural orientation.

Mission Statement
