Description
Community sponsorship enables community members to directly support refugees and other forcibly displaced people through mentorship, social connections, and financial or in-kind contributions. It fosters long-term integration by connecting refugees with local groups committed to assisting them, often through co-sponsorship, where community organizations partner with resettlement agencies. Founded in 2021, the Community Sponsorship Hub (CSH) is the first organization in the United States solely dedicated to expanding community sponsorship. CSH has built a private sponsorship infrastructure and successfully welcomed refugees and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders – including Afghans, Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. CSH’s humanitarian efforts are in collaboration with hundreds of local organizations and more than 160,000 American volunteers in all fifty states and Washington, D.C. With Corporation support, CSH will pair 1,000 refugee cases with sponsors and continue to engage diverse groups across ideology to promote and expand public support for refugees and SIV holders.
