Since Grace Initiative began resettling refugees, its program has evolved into a program supporting the resettlement of Haitians, who entered under the status of parolees or Humanitarian parolees. These people have fled the surge of crime and violence, collapsed government structures. With Grace Initiative support and introductions, all the Haitians have transitioned to economic self-sufficiency, gaining employment, housing, English, financial literacy, and cultural orientation.
Grace Initiative carries out its resettlement as an affiliate of Episcopal Migration Ministries for the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee & Resettlement Matching Grant program in Vermont.

International Protection of Refugees
Why do we need to help refugees? The protection for refugees stems from three areas of international law: International Humanitarian Law, Human Rights Law and Refugee Law. These areas of law are both based in international treaty law, ratified, and adopted into national law and in customary law. In this regard, the United States has a responsibility to provide protections for refugees.
Grace Initiative Global advises on the coordination of international refugee protection and resettlement. Learn more about international laws and policies regarding refugees, including International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law by clicking the button below:

Types of Refugees
Under U.S. law, a “refugee” is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to his or her home country because of a “well-founded fear of persecution” due to race, membership in a particular social group, political opinion, religion, or national origin.
Different types of refugees include: asylum seekers, migrants, and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Grace Initiative Global assists in the implementation of government assistance programs to help resettle refugees, asylees, humanitarian parolees, victims of human trafficking toward a path of self-sufficiency and a life of dignity and hope.
