Refugee Resettlement Program
Sr. Elisabeth Lang at (510) 768-3106 or visit www.eastbayrefugeeforum.org
The goal of the Refugee Resettlement Program is to help refugees become self-sufficient through an array of services. We offer English classes, help them to navigate the school system and other public institutions, and assist them as they integrate into American society. We provide assistance in finding housing and employment, accessing health care and adjusting to a new culture.
CCEB’s Refugee Resettlement Program serves refugees from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Burma, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Iraq, Iran, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Congo, Vietnam, Russia, Cuba and other countries.
