LSSNCA ensures that each of our refugee families are provided a home furnished and supplied with all essentials upon arrival in the U.S. The same applies to Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders arriving from Afghanistan. Upon arrival, refugee families are enrolled in the Reception and Placement (R&P) program of the U.S. State Department. Through this program, families are granted $1,175 per individual for the material means of the family (rent, furnishings, groceries, clothing, etc.). This grant is meant to last an individual for the R&P period of 90 days from arrival - after which, all eligible adults should be employed and the family successfully financially self-sufficient. Of course, we understand that this amount is often not enough to live on for three months. Therefore, LSSNCA relies heavily on the support of groups and faith communities , like yourselves, for co-sponsorship of our families (Good Neighbor Partners) and donations.

Mission Statement

Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA) accompanies those in need to foster resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities by creating, connecting with, and engaging welcoming communities. 

Description

Since 1917, Lutheran Social Services of the National Capital Area (LSSNCA) has accompanied those in need throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the Washington D.C. metro area to foster resiliency, self-sufficiency, and access to opportunities by creating, connecting with, and engaging welcoming communities. 

Motivated daily by our belief in the inherent dignity of all, LSSNCA’s innovative participant-informed programs serve refugees, forced migrants, immigrants, children and youth, and underserved communities by filling in the gaps. Piloting initiatives like the area’s first camp for kids impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis, originating local pro se asylum workshops for Afghan Allies, launching a Resource Center to serve as a community hub for all recently arrived program participants, and backing an array of ongoing mental health support services, alongside community partners, LSSNCA strives to create an inclusive community of well-being where people thrive.
