Client Resources FAQ
At RAICES, we know that putting down roots in a new country is only possible through the power of community. We have assembled some resources to support people and families who have recently arrived in the U.S. under refugee or Special Immigrant Visa status and resettled in the San Antonio, Texas, area, including organizations and programs that help with financial assistance, job placement, and immigration legal and social services.
