Kentucky Refugee Ministries is dedicated to providing resettlement services to refugees through faith- and agency-based co-sponsorship in order to promote self-sufficiency and successful integration into our community. KRM is committed to offering access to community resources and opportunities and to promoting awareness of diversity for the benefit of the whole community. The Kentucky Refugee Ministries (KRM) Community Liaison VISTA will work to increase capacity for KRM’s housing and community orientation services to newly-arrived refugee clients in Louisville, Kentucky, including the following: increase options for affordable rental housing for refugees and immigrants; increase KRM’s ability to assist with housing and maintenance concerns by serving as a liaison between KRM and property managers or landlords; increase opportunities for outreach and education in the community; and increase community-based and neighborhood-based events that bring together Louisville residents with refugee and immigrant newcomers.
