How does ERIS make resources available to refugees/asylees?
Each refugee/asylee individual or family is assigned an ERIS Case Worker who has primary responsibility for the refugee and family. The Case Worker, or “sponsor”, is the most important source of information and assistance during the first months of adjustment to life in the US. An agency representative meets refugees at the airport, arranges for housing, and prepares a resettlement plan that includes initial contact with governmental services and employment agencies.
