The Resettlement Programs Office, our partners and communities welcome immigrants to Minnesota as they rebuild their lives, establish well-being and contribute to the state's economy.

We're here to help 

The support you can get depends on your immigration status:

  • Access community resources and take classes to help adjust to life in the U.S.
  • Reach learning and career goals, including help finding a job and moving up at work.
  • Find health insurance, learn about health and navigate the health care system.
  • Get immigration legal help based on your circumstances.
  • Access short-term financial help and early employment connections for single adults or married couples without children.
