Compassion Immigration Services supports immigrants and newcomers across Delaware, including refugees and asylees, with practical assistance and connections to local resources. Our work supports stability, access to care and learning, and greater independence in everyday life.
Needs can continue after initial resettlement support or fall between separate programs. CIS helps people connect the practical steps across housing, employment, healthcare, education and family life.
Support begins with a conversation. Contact our team in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole or French.
Work, housing, healthcare, school and language needs can affect each other. Staff help identify priorities rather than requiring a separate starting point for every need.
Support can include applications, appointments, communication and connections to community resources. Staff coordinate practical steps from the Wilmington office and in the community, according to the person’s situation and available support.
Legal, medical and public-benefit decisions belong with the qualified provider or agency. CIS helps people navigate those connections.
