WHAT WE DO
HIAS works around the world to protect refugees who have been forced to flee their homelands because of who they are, including ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities. For more than 130 years, HIAS has been helping refugees rebuild their lives in safety and dignity.
Since January of 2022, we have resettled 102 clients from 7 nations, and have plans to assist 115+ more in 2023! We could not do this work without volunteers and supporters, and we are so thankful for everyone who stepped up to help in the past year.
As a HIAS affiliate network partner, the JCA is committed to bringing approximately 115 refugees over the next year, helping them to find housing and work, and connecting them with services here in Maine over their first three months here.
