Housing stability is a crucial aspect of refugee resettlement. Resettlement agencies and case managers play a vital role in supporting newcomers to find secure and sustainable housing to help rebuild their lives and thrive in new communities. This toolkit is designed to equip resettlement agency professionals with the essential knowledge and skills needed to navigate the housing market and provide effective support to newcomer clients.
