Helping refugee families go from need to succeed

From need to succeed

We provide the extended support refugee families need to go from “need” to “succeed” in our Indy-area community. We help immigrant families who originally came to the United States as refugees through the United States Customs and Immigration Program for refugee resettlement. Though the U.S. suspended almost 100% of resettlements in 2025, hundreds of refugee families are here as a result of that program - and their economic and social stability takes several years to achieve.

We help refugee families bridge the gap between their enormous financial and social needs in the early months to year in their new country and the things a family must attain to become socially and financially independent. These “things” include:

  • Offering financial aid through programs that help subsidize foundational needs such as rent, transportation costs, utility costs, and food costs.

  • Offering social assistance by helping families find and connect with resources that help them learn English, gain education, find jobs, and obtain healthcare.

Exodus Refugee Immigration matches us with a family. We provides social and financial support to the families we sponsor for at least two years. We stay connected until families resolve short-term needs and gain economic and social stability.
