Core Services

Our vision is to not only meet the basic needs of our new neighbors, but to equip them with the tools to thrive in the NWA community.

 
 

Resettlement Assistance

Through the Reception and Placement program, Canopy provides all newly-arriving refugee families with intensive case management and financial support for their first 90 days in the US. Many households are also eligible for the Matching Grant Program, which extends this services up to 180 days.

Specifically, Canopy helps with:

 

  • Securing permanent safe and affordable housing

  • Applying for social security and public benefits

  • Enrolling family members in school

  • Accessing healthcare for all members of the family

  • Job training and securing employment

  • Cultural orientation classes

    • English language learning

    • Community integration

    • Navigating NWA

At the end of this resettlement period, our goal is that all families will be financially self-sufficient.

Since 2016, Canopy has resettled over 50 households in NWA.
