The Benefits of Legal Immigration
At CATCH, being a resource for communities welcoming legal immigrants and giving them a safe place to work and call home is what we do.
CATCH supports the desire of refugees, asylees, and immigrants to establish roots in a new place.
We believe that they need us, and we need them.
Legal immigration in rural North Dakota provides many benefits to welcoming communities:

Workplace Support
Legal immigrants can fill labor gaps, especially in agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Population Stabilization
Legal immigration can help stabilize or grow rural populations by attracting new families and workers.
Cultural Enrichment

The private sponsorship program in the U.S. is called the Welcome Corps. It is a U.S.
Department of State program that allows American citizens and permanent residents to
voluntarily support refugees. Sponsors can provide refugees with the necessary assistance
to start a new life in the USA.
As a Private Sponsorship Organization of the Welcome Corps, CATCH empowers North Dakotans to make a difference by helping refugees resettle in rural communities.
