Support and Assistance for Refugees

We provide advice and assistance regarding filling out applications for benefits at DHA (Cash Assistance, CalFresh, Medi-Cal, etc.). Besides applying, we also troubleshoot the cases and provide assistance with uploading the documents, submitting changes, and checking the status of the application.

We understand that the U.S. healthcare system can be complex and confusing for people who never have dealt with it. Our mission is to make healthcare easily accessible for everyone, especially for those new to the United States. We help clients choose a healthcare/dental plan, change the current plan, make appointments, change healthcare providers, expedite referral requests, etc.

UA House helps people with filling out legal immigration documents. We help to submit an application for eligible applicants and assist them in gathering supporting documentation. Our bilingual staff is ready to walk through the process of submitting applications together with the client and explain everything in a simple way.

We connect people who are seeking jobs with potential employers. Also, we refer people to our partner organizations, like SETA (Sacramento Employment and Training Agency), which help create resumes and provide training.

Together with experienced volunteer teachers, the UA House developed English as Second Language courses for newly arrived refugees who do not have sufficient language skills to live in the US. Currently, we are forming groups of students, differentiating them by age and language proficiency.

We help youth and young adults to be self-sufficient and build a better future. Our goal is to support the young generation with full wrap-around services and support, help them build resumes, and prepare them for in-demand, high-quality jobs.

Access to emotional support is crucial for Ukrainians who were affected by war. Traumatic events induced by war (violence, losing a loved one, separation of families, loss of belonging, etc.) increase the risk of mental conditions, such as depression, insomnia, and PTSD. We provide emotional assistance for the affected people by holding therapy sessions, one-on-one private sessions, and referring them to certified psychologists. The UA House team members are of Ukrainian origin, and we can provide effective help because we understand the issue as no one else can relate.
