Refugee Housing Solutions (RHS) partners with landlords and communities to expand safe, affordable housing for refugees and newcomers, strengthening stability and belonging for families rebuilding their lives in the United States.

In December 2025, RHS teamed up with ReHome to host a conversation with landlords and property managers, representing more than 1,000 units across Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Their insights offer a hopeful look at what’s working and where communities can continue strengthening the systems that welcome home newcomer families home.

Communities interested in participating in future conversations are invited to connect with RHS and be part of shaping innovative, community-centered housing solutions. Use the link below to get in touch with the RHS team and learn more about how you can get involved.
