In 2019, Canopy set out to design a road map to help every refugee household in our community thrive. The Path to Thriving was developed with input from experts, community partners, refugee families, and literature on best practices.
The Path to Thriving plan below ensures refugee clients move from newcomers to fully integrated community members.
Across generations, all family members are full contributing members of our community. Canopy aims to provide all of our clients with full wrap-around integration support for 5 full years after arrival.
In order to fulfill our vision of refugees and the community thriving together, it is necessary to do more than just resettle— we need a Long Welcome. That’s what we are working towards. Our vision is to have the programs and the resources in place so that all of our refugee families can become full contributing members of our community within 5 years of arrival in the US.
