California Refugee Programs

California's Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP) is comprised of many program partners at the federal, state, county, and community level.  The RRP in California is 100 percent federally funded by the Office of Refugee Resettlement and is state administered by the California Department of Social Services, Refugee Programs Bureau (RPB).  The RPB supervises county operations and delivery of RRP benefits and services.  The RRP assists eligible refugees and other targeted populations to adjust socially and attain the skills needed for finding employment and becoming self-sufficient as quickly as possible.  (See tabs above for detailed program information.)
