Rain Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Resettlement agencies are the charities that are working directly with the government to resettle refugees in the US. There are, I believe, 9 in the US though like Catholic Charities below they may separate in a geographical area for their range of work. There are specific things they have to do to resettle the refugees by law. The other charities either help or work in partnership with the resettlement agencies or work on their own.

I think often when the church reports these things they are just reporting what is on the surface. 2
