Community Refugee Sponsorship Programme

The Community Refugee Sponsorship Programme enables all New Zealanders to welcome refugees to Aotearoa. The programme supports organisations and community groups to directly engage in refugee resettlement by committing to providing financial, emotional and practical support to help newly arrived refugees integrate into life in Aotearoa New Zealand.

​

HOST Aotearoa New Zealand is the umbrella organisation for the Community Refugee Sponsorship (CORS) Programme.
