Global Michigan encourages Michiganders to sponsor refugees resettled through the expanded Welcome Corps
“Programs like the Welcome Corps advance the Office of Global Michigan’s mission to make Michigan the home for opportunity for our immigrant, refugee and ethnic communities,” said Poppy Hernandez, Global Michigan Director and Michigan’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer. “Expanded refugee resettlement pathways empower more Michiganders to support our state’s growing refugee population and build a more welcoming and inclusive Michigan for all.”
To better connect refugees with support, the Welcome Corps recently launched an option for Private Sponsor Groups to identify a specific refugee or refugee family overseas and apply to sponsor their resettlement.
Under this expanded resettlement pathway, Private Sponsor Groups can:
- Apply to be matched with a refugee to sponsor;
- Sponsor a refugee who already has a case number for the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program or the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa program;
- Refer and sponsor someone who has been registered as a refugee on or before September 30th, 2023, by the UN Refugee Agency or by the government of the country in which they currently live; or
- Sponsor refugees of Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan or Venezuelan nationality that had a Form I-134 or I-134A already filed on their behalf, prior to September 30th, 2023.
