USCRI DES MOINES
The USCRI Des Moines field office has been welcoming refugees from around the world to central Iowa since 2010. Refugees resettled in Des Moines primarily come from Afghanistan, Burma, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria. Newly arrived refugees receive a comprehensive set of services including housing placement, cultural orientation, school enrollment, healthcare coordination, and employment preparation and placement. USCRI Des Moines also serves survivors of human trafficking and refugees and immigrants who have been in the U.S. for longer periods of time.
