There is a crisis in Afghanistan and our government is receiving families by the thousands that need our help. As you prayerfully consider your role, let us share with you some facts. Each Afghan refugee resettled in America will receive a one-time financial stipend from the State Department of a little over $1,000. They do not qualify for public assistance or public medical assistance. They will be eligible to find employment, but you can imagine the initial hardship they may face upon doing so. We need your help and here are some ways you can team up with us to help provide some aid.
Become a Host Home
A Host Home is a powerful and unique experience. The commitment you are willing to make is to open up your home to a young person between that is 18 and older, or a refugee family. We ask that you’d be willing to provide food and shelter for this young person or family. Host Homes will be expected to host this young person or family for no less than 90 days, possibly up to 1 year, and hopefully longer.
Here are some of the requirements:
- Have a vacant bedroom
- Willing to have a brief home & health safety check
- Live near transportation
- Complete Interviews & Trainings

Become a Bridge Home
A Bridge Home is an opportunity to open up your home and take in a young person and provide them an environment with food, shelter, and the intent of teaching life skills. We want to aid our young person by investing in them so when they are ready to depart from our homes they will succeed in all aspects of life.
Here are some of the requirements:
- Have a vacant bedroom
- Willing to have a brief home & health safety check
- Live near transportation
- Complete Interviews & Trainings
- Keep your time commitment
