Housing Donations Needed for Refugee Clients
CCS' Refugee Resettlement team works hard to make sure that all clients settling into life in Utah have a place to call home. You can play a part by donating housing or renting to incoming refugee clients. If you're interested, please complete this form. Upon completion, someone from our housing team will be in touch should a need arise that your donation can remedy.
Donate Unneeded Vehicles to Refugee Clients
For many newly arrived refugees, transportation can be an added barrier to settling into life in Utah. As clients receive their driver's licenses and secure employment, owning a vehicle can make all of the difference in getting to and from work.
If you have an unneeded vehicle, consider donating it to CCS for a refugee client. For more information, please contact Stevie at .
Work with Refugee Resettlement's Job Developers
CCS' Refugee Resettlement Job Development team's primary goal is to assist clients in achieving self-sufficiency by providing services designed to help them obtain employment. The team conducts intake assessments to understand each client’s needs and develops an individualized Employment Plan.
The Job Development team is always seeking partners with employment opportunities for clients. If you have a connection to share, please contact Mahamud at .
Thank you for the many ways that you choose to come alongside CCS in serving our community!
