Resettlement Program

The 5ive Pillars Organization works with refugee resettlement agencies, community based organizations, and government agencies to provide resettlement support to newcomers and their families across Northern California. 

​

Our resettlement support areas include: 

​

• Providing immediate essentials to refugee, migrant, and other newcomer families. 

• Assisting families with school enrollment, ESL, and other education needs.

• Coordinating household donations for newcomer family units.

• Connecting newcomers to critical health, housing, and other support services.

• Collaborating on community events, including resource fairs, cultural celebrations, and other social gatherings.
