Introducing the RHS Housing Hub & Directory. Plus, a new interagency fact sheet on renting to refugees.
Refugee Housing Solutions Launches Its Housing Hub and Directory
The latest expansion of Refugee Housing Solutions' website offerings is the new Housing Hub and Directory, a central space for resources focused on state, regional, and local housing dynamics to empower stakeholders with essential information for decision-making and collaboration toward sustainable housing for refugees and other newcomers to the U.S.
The Housing Hub is an inclusive online platform that connects newcomers, sponsors, and stakeholders with essential housing resources for resettlement. It hosts educational materials, region-specific resources, and the Housing Directory.
The Housing Directory serves as a centralized database of localized housing support services and resources, connecting refugees and other resettlement stakeholders to vital local housing information. It offers a comprehensive array of information tailored to individual geographic locations, enabling users to access essential services and resources relevant to their specific needs.
The Housing Hub and Directory are continually being developed, and users can submit resources to be added to the Directory as participants in the project.
New Fact Sheet on Renting to Refugees and Other Eligible Newcomers Published by U.S. Government
Refugee Housing Solutions is pleased to share a new interagency fact sheet issued by the U.S. Departments of State, Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS), and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to enjoin private sector housing providers – small property landlords and corporate apartment complexes alike – to include refugees and other newcomers to the U.S. among their tenants.
