Somali Community
Resettlement Services

SCRS was established as a public charity with IRS 501(c)(3) status under the advance ruling provision in 2000, and confirmed in 2004.  The SCRS office in Rochester assisted newly arrived refugees from Somalia and other East African countries. In 2000, SCRS opened a second office in Faribault. SCRS has assisted refugee families to secure basic needs and resources for self-sufficiency and to acclimate to a new way of life.

Our Programs

SCRS was form by a volunteer network
of Somali refugees to directly respond to the needs of Somali refugee
