Asylum Seekers Housing Network (ASHN) supports persons who have fled their native country due to war, torture, political or religious persecution, and are in the process of applying for protection in the United States. 

During the lengthy asylum process, individuals seeking asylum are not permitted to work or receive government assistance. They often face enormous challenges in finding housing and supportive services. 

ASHN provides the following: 

• Stable temporary housing for up to 5 asylum seekers at a time at the Reservoir Hill House of Peace (RHHP), an interfaith community committed to inter-cultural sharing and mutual support

• A small stipend for food, medicine and other living expenses

• Legal, health, education, and social services from Asylee Women Enterprise (A.W.E.) or Episcopal Refugee and Immigrant Center Alliance (ERICA)

Since 2003, approximately 200 asylum seekers have moved through the ASHN program to jobs and more permanent housing.
