Mission
PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE RESETTLEMENT SUPPORT TO AFGHANS AND IRAQIS WHO SERVED US INTERESTS IN A WAR ZONE, AND ARRIVE TO MONROE COUNTY, NY UNDER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM TO ESTABLISH PERMANAENT RESIDENCY.
Program accomplishments
- KEEPING OUR PROMISE PROVIDES RESETTLEMENT ASSISTANCE TO AFGHAN AND IRAQI FAMILIES RELOCATED TO THE US UNDER THE SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA PROGRAM. ASSISTANCE INCLUDES: FINDING CODE-COMPLIANT HOUSING; PAYING RENT AND A SECURITY DEPOSIT; FURNISHING THE APARTMENT OR HOUSE WITH ESSENTIALS INCLUDING NEW BEDS; PROVIDING FOOD; PAYING FIRST UTILITY BILLS. KEEPING OUR PROMISE ALSO PAYS FOR DRIVING LESSONS FOR SIVS TO OBTAIN NYS DRIVERS LICENSE. OUR HOUSING GOAL IS TO PLACE FAMILIES IN LONG TERM STABLE HOUSING WHERE THEY WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE LIVING FOR AT LEAST TWO OR MORE YEARS. TO MAKE RENTAL DETERMINATION, KOP WILL ASSESS NEIGHBORHOOD DEMOGRAPHICS INCLUDING CRIME RATES, OWNERSHIP, AND GENERAL UPKEEP OF SURROUNDING HOUSING UNITS. KOP HAS ESTABLISHED WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH LANDLORDS, WHO FREQUENTLY OFFER POSITIVE REFERRALS TO OTHER LANDLORDS TO THE BENEFIT OF OUR FAMILIES. KOP ALSO WORK ON GROUPING FAMILIES TOGETHER IN NEIGHBORHOODS SO THEY MAY HAVE MUTUAL SUPPORT OF EACH OTHER. THIS MODEL ALLOWS THE FAMILIES TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND STABILITY AFTER ESCAPING WAR. KOP VOLUNTEERS DO AN INITIAL "FIRST SHOP," SO EACH FAMILY IS STOCKED WITH 3-5 DAYS OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE FOOD UPON ARRIVAL, AND EACH FAMILY RECEIVES A GIFT CARD TO SHOP AT THE LOCAL HALAL STORE, AND LOCAL GROCERY STORES UNTIL THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SNAP BENEFITS.THE WHEELS FOR WORK PROGRAM REQUIRES A FAMILY TO CONTRIBUTE OR LOG 100 COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS WHILE STUDYING OR IMPROVING THEIR ENGLISH SKILLS, PASSING THEIR DRIVING PERMIT TEST, AND THEN THEIR PRACTICAL DRIVING TEST LEADING TO A DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND SECURING EMPLOYMENT. FAMILIES FREQUENTLY STATE THAT ACCESS TO A CAR HAS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THEIR LIVES LEADING TO BETTER EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES BY REDUCING TRAVEL TIME, PROVIDING ACCESS TO A LARGER JOB MARKET, AND PROVIDING RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. THE IDEA FOR THIS WHEELS FOR WORK PROGRAM CAME FROM A LARGE STUDY OF LOW-INCOME FAMILIES IN 10 CITIES WHO PARTICIPATED IN TWO FEDERAL HOUSING VOUCHER PROGRAMS STUDIES (MOVING TO OPPORTUNITY) CONDUCTED BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AND UCLA. THE STUDY FOUND THAT FAMILIES WITH A CAR "WERE TWICE AS LIKELY TO FIND A JOB AND FOUR TIMES AS LIKELY TO STAY EMPLOYED."EACH FAMILY RECEIVES A CELL PHONE SO THEY CAN COMMUNICATE, USE GOOGLE MAPS FOR GETTING AROUND THE CITY AND USING THE BUS SERVICE BEFORE THEY HAVE A CAR, AND TO MAKE MEDICAL, SCHOOL OR EMPLOYMENT APPOINTMENTS. THE PHONE INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE MONTH OF PHONE SERVICE WHEN THEY ARRIVE IN ROCHESTER.Expenses $639,198 · grants $426,757
