DWELL MOBILE Information

Mobile takes pride in being a welcoming city for resettled refugees and other displaced individuals. They often arrive with minimal possessions and limited English. At best, they may know a few neighbors or acquaintances from their home country, but they are largely alone as they adapt to a new culture. These newer residents of Mobile often feel isolated and afraid. They’ve survived so much and want to take advantage of their opportunity. To support them, Dwell builds relationships between the people of Mobile and these refugees. Through our special events and regular programs, the Dwell family is there as they create a new home. Our mission is to provide resettled refugee families practical support in their new life, meaningful relationships with new neighbors and opportunities to develop a better future. Our vision is a city where resettled refugee families find their home and community.
