Support and Assistance for Refugees

Get Appointment

More than 20,000 refugees from Ukraine settled down in California. These families fled the war, hoping to receive shelter, support, and assistance. Having suffered great loss, like homes, livelihoods, possessions, and even families, refugees need assistance starting over in a new country.


Settling down in a new country is complex, and as a result, many immigrants in the U.S. today live in fear and isolation, unable to truly feel a sense of home in the US. The Ukrainian American House saw a great need to support this vulnerable group of newcomers. UA House gives both immediate post-arrival assistance and long-term support for refugees. We assist with applying for resources, including but not limited to human assistance programs, ID or Driver's License, employment, etc.


We are not limiting ourselves just to helping the Ukrainian community. We assist all the refugees and immigrants in need because we understand their struggle and want to actively offer a caring and supportive environment for refugees as they begin new lives.

ESL Classes

ESL Classes

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.

Career Guidance for Young Adults

Career Guidance for Young Adults

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.

Mental Health Support

Mental Health Support

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.
