Housing stability is one of the biggest challenges for refugees resettling in the Bay Area. Securing a safe and permanent home is essential for successful integration. We're proud to share that JFCS East Bay has achieved a remarkable milestone—securing stable housing for nearly all (95%) of the refugees we've resettled since August 2021! Thank you to our community for your support in making this possible. Together, we’re helping families build new lives and futures. #RefugeeSupport #HousingStability #JFCS #CommunityCare #RefugeeResettlement #BayArea #SupportRefugees #StrongerTogether #HumanRights #Nonprofit #MakingADifference
