Learn how to support renting to refugees, register for upcoming webinars, and more.
Make an immediate impact by renting to refugees.
Part of Refugee Housing Solutions' mission is to connect property owners, property managers, and landlords with refugees and newcomers in need of housing across the U.S. Whether it's helping train resettlement staff who want to recruit landlords and property managers or helping demystify the process of renting to refugees and newcomers for property owners themselves, RHS seeks to inform stakeholders and support more landlord/property manager engagement.
Did you know interested property owners or landlords can request to work with RHS to rent their properties to refugees directly on our website? Our Rent to Refugees page features landlord testimonials, resources for landlords and property managers, and a contact form to reach out to the RHS team.
Not a landlord or property owner? Feel free to send a referral to info@refugeehousing.org. We're also accepting submissions of landlord/property manager testimonials from those who have already rented to refugees.
