IRC Oakland is currently seeking compassionate landlords in the Bay Area to help the newly arrived refugees as they settle here in the Bay Area.
When refugees first arrive in this country, they have no credit history or employment, making landlords hesitant to rent to them. Assistance in locating housing and/or jobs is the fundamental way to help them succeed.
If you are a landlord in the Bay Area interested in helping out, please get in touch with oakland.housing@rescue.org
May God send someone as caring to you in your time of need as you are by helping rebuild the lives of those in need.
