Norman Coalition for
Refugee Support
NCRS was formed in 2019 .
It is a coalition of churches who have committed to helping refugees
coming into our city get started on their new lives.
We do that by providing housing, clothing, food, transportation, medical, education, etc. for the first six months. Each month the families will learn more about taking care of themselves. Our goal is for them to be
self-supporting by six or seven months.
St. Michaels joined the coalition of now eight churches, at the end of October 2021
NCRS, now a 501(c)3 non-profit, is able do all of this through donations from churches, and individuals.
Volunteers of the NCRS continue to make a difference for our families and the new focus on “off-
ramping” for independence is working, step-by-step, and family by
family. The development of a Strategic Plan is uncovering new
opportunities and challenges.
While all families are in safe and sanitary housing, future housing
funding is a concern as CCP funding will end in the latter part of 2023.
