In Ohio, refugee resettlement and integration are handled by non-profit agencies like US Together Inc., CRIS Ohio, USCRI Cleveland, May Dugan Center, and International Institute of Akron, which work with national partners to offer essential services such as housing, job placement, legal aid, and English classes, with major hubs in Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. These "contractors" (agencies) receive refugees and help them settle, with support from organizations like the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) and Church World Service (CWS).
Key Agencies & Locations:
US Together Inc.: Statewide presence (Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo); started by refugees.
