Millions of people become refugees after escaping tyranny, poverty, destruction, and persecution at home. Every year, some gain permanent residence in a resettlement country such as Australia, France, Canada, or the United States. A small portion of the worldwide population of refugees will find themselves in Seattle, Washington. One of 5 local resettlement agencies, the Episcopal Migration Ministries (EMM), which operates through the Diocese of Olympia, will greet these new arrivals and help them build a new life. The Diocese of Olympia’s Refugee Resettlement, an affiliate of EMM, has provided needed assistance to over 15,000 refugees since opening its doors in 1978. This assistance can be food and shelter, orientation to Seattle, ESL, job search assistance, workplace training, financial literacy education, micro-savings and micro-finance programs. The Refugee Resettlement Office primarily serves Seattle but also reaches out to low-income refugees and immigrants in greater King, Pierce and Snohomish counties
