Join the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring as we celebrate Maryland’s Newest Americans on World Refugee Day! The International Rescue Committee responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is at work in over 40 countries and 26 U.S. cities helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. Since 2006, the International Rescue Committee in Silver Spring has provided our clients with the needed resources and support to translate their past experiences into assets that are valuable to their new communities.

Drawing on data from more than 2,400 refugee households, as well as the International Rescue Committee’s work in 28 U.S. cities, this report aims to inform future program models in order to create more effective and responsive approaches to building financial capability, lasting economic security for all New Americans.
