The Inland Immigrant and Refugee Welcome Center opened in Escondido Thursday, making it the second location in the region where people can go, regardless of immigration status, and receive help accessing services they are eligible to receive.
Here in San Diego County, immigrants, including refugees, make up more than 20 percent of the population.
The newest Welcome Center is located inside the North Inland Live Well Center and offers a safe, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive environment for immigrants and refugees.
The Welcome Center provides a comprehensive service hub with vital resources and information for immigrants and refugees and is located near key County departments such as Aging and Independence Services, Child Family and Wellbeing, a Family Resource Center, Public Health Center, and Military and Veterans Resource Center.
