• Five-Year Stakeholder Reflection Survey

  • Survey Purpose & Use

    Refugee Housing Solutions (RHS), a project of Church World Service, is gathering reflections from partners, stakeholders, and users who have engaged with RHS since its launch in 2022. This survey is intended to help document what RHS has made possible across the refugee and newcomer housing ecosystem, what partners have relied on most, and what support may be needed going forward as housing challenges remain complex and highly localized.

    The survey is not connected to a single funding source. It is designed to capture RHS’ overall value across its blended funding history, including technical assistance, training, resources, the Housing Hub and Directory, partnerships, convenings, and field-informed learning. Responses may be used in reports, planning, proposals, briefings, and other materials that help tell the story of RHS’ impact and continued relevance.
