You can play a part by donating housing or renting to incoming refugee clients. If you're interested, please complete this form. Upon completion, someone from our housing team will be in touch should a need arise that your donation can remedy.

Become a Refugee Community Co-Sponsor
CCS’ Migration and Refugee Services team has a brand new volunteer opportunity to help you get your community involved in refugee resettlement—Refugee Community Co-Sponsorship.
Community co-sponsors are groups of volunteers who work alongside CCS Refugee Resettlement staff and provide direct services helping integrate newcomers to their communities. Learn more and get started here.
