We recognize that deaf refugees, asylum-seekers, immigrants, and those from US territories have unique needs that are best served and assisted by the members of the general Deaf community. Our mission is to
1) provide direct services (education and case management services),
2) promote advocacy and full language access for this population, and
3) outreach services (collaboration, consultation, and education) to existing community service organizations and agencies.
We aim to support them as they strive to be self‐sustaining neighbors while still retaining their own cultural heritage, identity, language, and religion. Furthermore, we wish to ensure their inclusion into our Deaf community and into general society.
