Access to immigrant-serving organizations

Spatial access by the enhanced two-step floating catchment area method (E2SFCA). Darker green = better access; orange = a service desert (people who need it, but no organization within reach); gray = no foreign-born population. Source: org locations + US Census ACS 2023.

Immigrant Policy Inclusion Index

How inclusive each state’s policies are toward immigrants, across seven domains: health coverage, language access, higher education, identification, integration & licensure, legal protection, and economic inclusion. Darker green = more inclusive; orange/red = more restrictive or limited. Click any state for its full profile.

Immigrant–Native Disparity Index

Standardized gaps between foreign-born and US-born residents (uninsured, crowded housing, rent burden, education, home internet, vehicle access, homeownership) from US Census ACS. Green = smaller gaps; red = larger gaps. This is an outcome measure, separate from the Policy map: it describes how immigrant and US-born residents differ, and is shaped by who has immigrated where (recency and composition), not by state policy alone.

Home for Refugees USA

26682 AVENIDA ARIVACA, MISSION VIEJO, CA 92691-2606

Home for Refugees USA is a nonprofit organization in Mission Viejo, California that serves immigrants and refugees.

A faith-based org that forms volunteer co-sponsorship 'Home Teams' to resettle and provide wrap-around support and service navigation to newly arrived refugees, SIVs, asylees, and asylum-seekers during their first year in the US.

Mission

To empower refugees to sustain new homes find new hope and fully experience life. We do this so that every refugee will have a home that supports safety freedom and dignity. What enables us to do this is the guiding belief that within every city where a refugee resettles exists the resources to help them find a place to call home through the support of their new community. The Home Team program provides four pathways for welcoming refugees broadly defined as forcibly displaced individuals. The first is the co-sponsorship pathway where refugees and Special Immigrant Visa SIV holders are resettled through a Resettlement Agency RA with Home Teams working alongside the RA to support them.

Services

Read from the organization's website.

  • Case management: “Home Teams help refugees navigate essential services including healthcare food distribution education ESL classes transportation employment opportunities and low-income housing.”
  • Health education: “This has helped dozens of refugee families receive healthcare advice and better understand the healthcare system in order for them to be empowered to make decisions on their own.”
  • Refugee resettlement (R&P): “help a case worker resettle a newly arrived refugee and will continue to come alongside the refugee for a 12-month period”
