and other immigrants to thrive in America. Each year, thousands of people, forced to flee violence and persecution, are welcomed by the people of the United States into the safety and freedom of America. These individuals have survived against incredible odds. The IRC works with government bodies, civil society actors, and local volunteers to help them translate their past experiences into assets that are valuable to their new communities. In Los Angeles and other offices across the country, the IRC helps them to rebuild their lives.</p></div></div><div class="rplc-faq__content" data-rpl-state-target-contextual-menu><div class="rplc-faq__questions"><div class="rpla-toggle-2 rpla-toggle-2--body rpla-toggle-2--plus-separators" data-rpl-toggle-2-state="collapsed" data-rpl-state-target><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border-wrapper"><div class="rpla-toggle-2__border rpla-toggle-2__border--top"></div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text-wrapper" data-rpl-state-type="toggle-2-state" data-rpl-state-values="expanded, collapsed"><button class="rpla-toggle-2__caret" role="button" tabindex="0"></button><div class="rpla-toggle-2__text">Who are refugees and why are they arriving in Los Angeles?</div></div><div class="rpla-toggle-2__content" data-rpl-toggle-2-content><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Refugees are people fleeing violence and persecution—in Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and other countries in crisis.

Once refugees have been identified by the United Nations refugee agency and cleared for resettlement, the U.S. government works with the IRC and eight other national resettlement agencies to help them restart their lives in America. Out of the nearly 30 million refugees in the world, fewer than one percent are considered for resettlement worldwide.</p><p class="rpla-paragraph rpla-paragraph--body">Refugees may be placed in a city where they have relatives or friends, or where there’s an established community that shares their language or culture. Other considerations include the cost of living and a community’s ability to provide medical services.
