Understanding Haiti and the Journey of Haitian Migrants

​​Understanding Haiti and the Journeys of Haitian Migrants” provides information about recent Haitian history, current country conditions, displacement challenges, and the experiences of Haitian nationals in the United States and other parts of the Americas. It aims to help U.S. resettlement agencies (RAs), local affiliates, service providers, and practitioners better understand and support Haitian ​​migrants, newcomers, and refugees in the United States.

As the number of Haitian arrivals increases, service providers need to understand the cultural heritage of Haitian newcomers and migrants to best provide them with culturally responsive services. Please note that this document simplifies complex historical and traumatic events and does not fully represent all Haitians’ needs, experiences, and challenges. Individual experiences, demands, and needs may differ and should receive full consideration.

This backgrounder is based on research papers, news articles, and reports from specialized organizations. The citations list the sources used to prepare this backgrounder.
