Refugee Programs Bureau

Mission & Vision

The mission of the Refugee Programs Bureau (RPB) is to lead and coordinate programs that help refugees and other vulnerable populations successfully resettle and adjust to life in California.

Our vision is to empower and support individuals to successfully transition and grow in their new communities in California.

What We Do

The RPB helps refugees and other vulnerable populations gain the skills they need to become financially independent and adjust socially after arriving in the United States.

We do this by working together with counties, resettlement agencies, schools, and community organizations across the state.

Urgent Immigrant Resources

The Regional Network Hubs for Immigrant Families (RNH) is a new statewide initiative to support the coordination of legal services, education and information, and other services to immigrant families in 11 regions of California. To see who to reach out to or for other resources, visit the Immigrant Legal Resource Center RNH website.
