Special Update: While the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program is currently suspended, Exodus continues to mobilize volunteers to provide practical care, friendship, and welcoming community to resettled refugees—including more than 650 refugee families who resettled in Chicagoland last year. We strongly support resumption of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for all refugees in need of safety and resettlement. (Updated 9/17/25)
