"Great local organization for immigrants and refugees"

"Inquired about helping with housing and Peter Simionides wasn't helpful. I explained to him that I was furnishing the extra apartment I have and I'll be ready real soon to rent it out. I thought we'd talk about what they offered housing owners. Sounded like he was mad because I wasn't ready yet. I was inquiring so when I was ready, I'd already be 90% to the finish line and can help out immediately...I know how slow organizations can be. Anyway...I won't be reaching back out...because he surely didn't offer to reach back out. So just forget about it!"

"They are assisting the newcomers to settle in the US, and supporting them with many important milestones, such: -Finding and starting their first Job -Learning English or improving their English proficiency -Enrolling in school and adjusting to the academic and social expectations -Obtaining a driver’s license or other forms of identification -Finding affordable housing and transportation -Accessing health care and social services -Applying for citizenship or legal status -Making friends and building community"

"Organization with the most dedicated to their work people. You see it and feel it every time you come into the office. Everyone helps the best they can and that makes difference in people's lives. Wish more donations and support were directed at this organization."

"Amazing place. Great customer service from Mr Graham who is dedicated to making this world a better place. He has a big heart and knows that America is a welcoming place for refugees-people who have been persecuted and will find a warm safe place to call home - much like the early settlers did"
