Refugee Sponsorship
The Federal Government terminated the Welcome Corps program on February 26, 2025. The program can no longer accept or process any new applications. Refugees who have already arrived in the U.S. through Welcome Corps can find information about available resources below.
The federal government has initiated private sponsorship programs as a new resettlement pathway that provide an avenue for interested individuals to directly sponsor a refugee to come to the United States. The Colorado Refugee Services Program (CRSP) does not oversee private sponsorship. However, CRSP is committed to sharing information and highlighting resources in support of sponsor groups and the individuals they welcome to Colorado through sponsorship.
