Refugee Immigration
"MISSION STATEMENT - Exodus Refugee Immigration works with refugees — worldwide victims of persecution, injustice and war — to establish self-sufficient lives in freedom and sanctuary for themselves and their families in Indiana"
Exodus Refugee Immigration is part of a network of affiliates that work with Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program (CWS/IRP) and Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) in the resettlement of refugees from all over the world in Indiana. Once a refugee case is assigned to CWS or EMM by the Refugee Processing Center in Arlington, Virginia, Exodus works in partnership with religious groups and community groups to welcome and assist the refugee in becoming self-sufficient neighbours in our communities.
Refugees come to our country with only what they can carry. Therefore prior to arrival Exodus along with sponsoring partners, coordinate[s] resettlement through housing, furnishings and other basic needs necessary to welcome them. During the next three to six-months, we work closely with community group’s as a resource to assist with needed resettlement documents, health and welfare services, education, job placement, translators, and transportation needs.
