    A New HOME for Refugees

    Asylum seekers who have fled torture and abuse in their home countries and hope to establish new lives in the U.S. can wait up to six years for a decision on asylum claims. In the interim, they face challenges to integrating into their new communities. Poverty, language and cultural barriers, limited access to healthcare and gainful employment make the transition difficult. Project HOME (Healing through Opportunities for Mobility and Engagement) helps torture victims overcome barriers and become self-sufficient and engaged community members.
