Government contracted resettlement agencies receive funding to support refugees for a limited time. These services are centered on initial needs, last as few as 3-6 months, and are often insufficient to support a successful transition to a new home. PRSG picks up where these agencies leave off by fostering true self-sufficiency with programs centered on economic mobility, education, social capital, and community re-empowerment.
