About
RIF of Santa Clara is collaborative of voluntary resettlement agencies, community-based organizations, colleges, social service agencies, and government organizations who work directly with local refugees and immigrants. For over twenty years, the Refugee and Immigrant Forum has successfully advocated for newcomer populations, supported their full integration into our community, and promoted appropriate services to advance their self-sufficiency.
