ReHome

ReHome is building quickly, thanks to early direct support. And we’re just getting started! After we raise enough money to properly launch, we’ll use it to connect more than 1,000 fully-vetted refugees with quality homes as soon as they arrive in the USA. We can now offer tax-deductible donation receipts to those who would like to donate one month’s worth of average US rent ($1,750) or more to the cause. Reach out to [email protected] for more details.

Our most recent accomplishment is announcing our partnership with Refugee Housing Solutions. We’ve been working alongside the resettlement system from the beginning and can’t wait to streamline more rental matches between landlords and resettled refugees!

“When a refugee is admitted to the United States, DHS provides them with a Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record. This is evidence that they are legally in the United States and, for refugees, does not expire” - US Federal Government Fact Sheet on Renting to Refugees

ReHome lets resettled refugees use their I-94 as ID for a rental application, while most rental platforms only accept a Social Security Number. Refugees start a multi-week process for a Social Security Card after they arrive, but we know their housing needs can’t wait.

Help us make sure landlords know that refugees make great tenants! Throughout our 90-day crowdfunding campaign, we’ll keep sharing information about how refugees meet landlords’ expectations on identification, background check, ability to pay, and dependability.

Renting out your property makes great business sense, and you'll also being doing good!
