Culturingua launched the Community of Welcome Program to support integration and belonging of newly arrived refugees. The program supported approximately 250 refugees and showed improvments in the refugees' integration into San Antonio in the dimensions of social, navigational, and psychological integration, using measures from Stanford's Immigration Policy Lab Immigrant Integration Index.
