Interview to Maria Blacque-Belair, LCSW
Executive Director
Asylum Help Center.
The Refugee & Immigration Fund (RIF) is dedicated to assisting refugees and immigrants in their journey to legal and social integration in the US. RIF provides resources to people who have fled their countries for reasons of political, religious, sexual orientation and gender persecution. We host orientation sessions on the asylum process, arrange legal consultations, and provide referrals to pro-bono attorneys and medical treatment.
Additionally, in 2011 we started the RIF Urban Recovery Farm Project which offers training in urban agriculture in a therapeutic outdoor environment.
