Websites like Zillow, Apartments.com, Trulia, and RentCafe show available homes across the U.S. You can use these websites to search for housing that meets you or your family’s needs in your preferred location and budget.  

Costs vary for mixed income and public housing. Affordable housing programs, like the Housing Choice Voucher Program and subsidized housing, can help lower rent costs or provide housing assistance. If you need help finding affordable housing, contact your local Public Housing Agency. Here are some costs for rental housing: 
 

  • Market rate rentals are homes or apartments that the owner can charge any price for. They can be very expensive, and the cost can change depending on their location. 
  • Mixed income housing is when an apartment building or townhouse development has some homes at market rent. Mixed income housing is less expensive because housing is subsidized for people with lower incomes. These homes are usually close to stores, schools, clinics, and public transportation.  
  • Public housing is built and paid for by the government. Rent is based on after-tax family income. Many Americans are on wait list to get public housing, so it is sometimes difficult for newcomers to qualify for public housing. 
  • Section 8 housing, also called the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is when the government helps pay part of the rent to a landlord or property owner. Not everyone qualifies for this program, and you must apply and meet certain qualifications. 

 

If you need help finding affordable housing, contact your local Resettlement Agency, sponsorship group, or Local Housing Authority for help. 

Your lease will tell you what costs are included in your rent, which ones you are responsible for, and when payments are due. When you rent an apartment or house, you must pay additional fees like a security deposit, which pays for any damage when you move out. You may also pay first and last month’s rent.  
 
You might have to pay for other things to take care of your home like trash removal, pest control, and utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and Wi-Fi. It’s important to know what costs you must pay so that you can budget your money wisely.

What do I need to bring to prescreening interview?

Come to your prescreening interview with whatever identifying documentation you have for yourself and all family members on your case. As a refugee, many of your personal documents may have been lost or destroyed, and that is understandable. Your caseworker will let you know if more documentation is necessary. You should bring the originals of any documents you have; if you do not have the originals, bring copies.
Below is a list of documents that may be useful at your prescreening interview. If you have them, you should bring the originals or copies with you to the appointment:

  • UNHCR refugee certificates / UNHCR refugee ID cards / UNHCR registration documents
  • Passports or travel documents (including expired travel documents)
  • National identification cards
  • Citizenship certificates
  • Temporary identification cards for foreigners
  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage licenses
  • Divorce documents
  • Custody documents
  • Adoption documents
  • Death certificates, if relevant to the persecution claim
  • Religious documents (baptism, marriage, temporary marriage certificate, death)
  • Employment documents, if relevant to your refugee claim
  • Educational documents/diplomas
  • Important medical documents (findings and prescriptions)
  • Medical form with a due date in case of pregnancy
  • Threat letters
  • Police/military summoning letters
  • Court documents for any crimes you have been charged with or convicted of, anywhere in the world
  • Media publications regarding your case (newspaper articles, relevant e-mails)
  • Military papers and other documents such as identification cards, certificates, military discharge, or permit to carry weapons
  • Red Cross certificate (in case of being registered as a prisoner of war)
  • Names, addresses, and phone numbers of U.S. ties (friends and relatives already living in the United States)

A lease is a legal agreement between you and the owner of the apartment or house that you rent. Before you sign, it is important to clearly understand what is written in your lease, which will define your rights and responsibilities as well as the owner’s responsibilities during the time that you occupy the property. In the language of the lease, you are called the “tenant” and the person renting the property is called the “landlord.”
