HMI welcomes refugees through our Remote Placement Community Partners (RPCP) program in collaboration with Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM) and Interfaith Refugee and Immigration Services (IRIS). This program provides a unique opportunity to build bridges within our community by welcoming newcomers and offering essential direct services.

As an RPCP, we provide comprehensive on-the-ground services for 90 days to ensure that refugees have a smooth transition as they settle into their new homes in the U.S. Some of the key services we offer include:

  • Welcoming individuals at the airport

  • Securing housing and necessities

  • Assisting with school enrollment for children and English classes for adults

  • Providing medical and employment support

  • Orienting our new neighbors to their new community

**All RPCPs receive federal funds, virtual training, and virtual coaching to support our efforts.
