One year of shelter and supportive community for a refugee
Our annual budget for 2009 is $150,000. We are able to house 15 refugees at one time.
So, simply put, it costs $10,000 per year to house a refugee at Welcome Home.
Think about your own costs as a family- that’s a pretty good deal! Within that $10,000, over $5000 is spent on personal staff time with a refugee. We’re very excited about this number. Anyone can simply hand over sheets and toilet paper and even Bibles. What we offer is a community with compassionate, skilled leadership to provide daily support in the settlement process and hope for the future.
A good sampling of the rest of our expenditures can be seen in the individual projects named within the Grocery List.
If you are up to the challenge of making a life-changing investment in a refugee and the Welcome Home Program in this way, please contact us. We’d love to share this opportunity with you!
Thank you!
