The R&P program provides funds for refugees to have caseworker support for 90 days from arrival. A dedicated caseworker is provided to each refugee and their family to assist them in navigating their new life. R&P services must include: pick-up at the airport; housing (securing housing, furniture, establishing utilities); transportation training (e.g. how to use the bus); cultural orientation (cultural mores, financial literacy, U.S. laws); enrollment in English language courses; benefits registration; medical care; enrollment in employment services; and, school enrollment. After three months, refugees are expected to be self-sufficient, meaning that they are employed and make enough money to pay their rent and other household expenses. They also need to understand how to navigate relevant systems in the U.S., such as accessing medical care.
