REFERENCE POINTS: Resource Guide for Serving Refugees with Disabilities
The Resource Guide for Serving Refugees with Disabilities is written as
a how-to for caseworkers and advocates who serve refugees with
disabilities. It was developed in an effort to improve access to
services for newly arrived refugees with disabilities. With an
increasing number of refugees with disabilities resettled in the U.S.,
there is a greater need for effective and coordinated care. This
resource guide includes a section on benefits for refugees with
disabilities, housing, citizenship and disabilities, laws related to
disabilities, other sections on disability-related topics as well as
additional resources of interest. To access the resource guide, go to
http://www.refugees.org/article.aspx?id=1965 . Funding for this project
was provided through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
Office of Refugee Resettlement.
