Designed for community organizations, county partners, faith-based and ethnic community-based organizations working with refugees and other ORR-eligible populations, this micro-lesson offers a clear, accessible overview of Refugee Resettlement Agencies (RAs), who they are, how they are funded, and what they are required to provide when newcomers first arrive in the United States. Viewers will learn how federal contracts shape RA timelines and responsibilities, how fluctuating funding and arrival numbers impact RA staffing and capacity, and why strong cross-sector collaboration is more important than ever in today’s rapidly shifting resettlement environment.
Information reflects operational reality as of November 2025.
