Our Approach to Immigration & Refugee Support
Our Commitment
DCRE promotes the rights, dignity, and protection of immigrants and refugees, particularly Afghan communities facing immigration uncertainty and barriers to essential services. Its approach focuses on policy advocacy, strategic partnerships, community engagement, and access to reliable information and appropriate referrals.
Policy Advocacy & Government Engagement
DCRE seeks to advance fair, humane, and inclusive immigration and refugee policies through legislative advocacy, constructive engagement with state and federal authorities, and dialogue with members of the U.S. Congress. Its priorities include strengthening legal protection and stability, promoting family unity, addressing barriers to immigration processes, and ensuring that the voices of affected communities inform policy decisions. DCRE also aims to facilitate access to reliable information and appropriate referrals to qualified legal, social, and community service providers.
Information & Referrals
DCRE seeks to improve access to reliable immigration-related information and appropriate community resources.
Where specialized assistance is required, DCRE aims to connect immigrants and refugees with qualified legal, social, and community service providers through appropriate referrals, without providing direct legal representation.
