Overview

Given the urgent need for a resettlement center and assistance specifically designed for North Koreans in the U.S., LiNK seeks to establish Liberty House, a six-month to a year transitional housing program which will provide newly arriving and recently-arrived North Korean refugees with critical assistance such as food, clothing, shelter and medical attention as well as a safe, nurturing and positive environment and community; while providing other development services (job training, career counseling, obtaining citizenship, relocation support, etc).  Moreover, refugees will have the opportunity to learn about American values and culture as well as develop practical and vocational skills so that they can eventually lead self-sufficient lives.Deliverables:- Transitional shelter for 6-10 refugees within the first year.- $25,000 in donations from individual donors.- 60% of refugees in formal schooling or employment.- 2 partnerships with official resettlement agencies.
