Overview

Mission

We provide humanitarian assistance to individuals and families seeking asylum in the United States. We provide housing and other financial support for food clothing legal medical and other living expenses. We have volunteer teams who help asylum seekers establish themselves in our country.

What it reported doing in 2025

We supported 11 families seeking asylum in the United States during 2025. We accept guests via referral from attorneys and or agencies and initially place our guests in host homes until they are permitted to work legally in the United States. Each individual or family is supported by a team of volunteers who help our guests find services such as school transportation English classes and medical care. We also support our teams with professional consulting services. When our guests are able to work and support themselves we provide the initial rent deposits household needs and the like as they begin living independently and await their asylum court date. We believe the assistance provided by our volunteers and the funds spent on our guests is vital to their success.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
