HIAS U.S. Welcome Circles for Ukraine

This report provides an evaluation of the HIAS U.S. Welcome Circle program for Ukrainians, an emergency response initiative that mobilized groups around the U.S. to provide community sponsorship for Ukrainians displaced as a result of the February 2022 Russian invasion. The report’s goal is to understand program results, highlight opportunities for improved program delivery, and explore how lessons from Welcome Circles might inform other community sponsorship programs.
