Community support is vital to refugee success:

Legally resettled refugees contribute to the enrichment of San Antonio, becoming dependable employees and reliable neighbors who contribute positively to the diversity of our community.

Following resettlement, refugee families are extremely vulnerable and underserved. They fled their homes due to religious and ethnic persecution.  CRS focuses on refugees’ ongoing unmet needs, recognizing that self-sufficiency and successful community integration is a process rather than a time-limited event.
