Refugee and Immigrant Services


At Ascentria Care Alliance, we believe welcoming refugees and immigrants reaffirms our American values. We offer a continuum of community-based programs for refugees and immigrants in Massachusetts and New Hampshire that aim to help new Americans achieve independence and stability.

Despite the growing challenges posed by the pandemic, Ascentria continues to resettle refugees in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
