 This week, we want to thank the African Family Holistic Health Organization (AFHHO) organization. They have been huge supports and have been assisting at the Welcome Center for many months. Pictured from left to right, Joy Mulumba (Manager/Executive Director) and Egide Dukuzumuremyi (Community engagement specialist) are very familiar and friendly faces at the Welcome Center. The organization was born from a desire to soothe some of the chronic problems affecting African families in SE Portland and they have worked to build community programs for others as well. They assist with migrant families seeking housing and have helped move 22 Haitian individuals from their work with the ODHS Self-Sufficiency Programs Refugee Program into long-term community housing. We are so grateful for their work and their community-building!
Important reminder: Please note the Welcome Center is no longer accepting new guests. For more information see the Sept. 29 Community Partner Welcome Center Update.
Funding opportunity: Arrivals from Ukraine
The Oregon Department of Human Services Refugee Program invites community agencies to apply for a portion of $2.25 million in funding that is available to provide services and support to eligible individuals from Ukraine or who entered through the Uniting for Ukraine program.
