Afghan Arrivals and USCIS SAVE Program Training
A recent email from HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing states that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and HUD will be holding training sessions for HUD staff and HUD-funded housing providers–including PHAs. The trainings will provide information and resources regarding Afghan arrivals, including federal benefits for which they may be eligible, documentation they may present to apply for benefits, and information on how to verify their immigration status using the SAVE program. These Afghan arrivals are people who entered the country through Operation Allies Welcome.
While USCIS and HUD will not record the training or distribute a copy of the presentation, much of the content can be found here.
Links to register for both training sessions may be found below. (Please note: although the registration links appear to sign the person registering for the webinar for an email newsletter, the links will actually register an individual for the webinar.)
- Session 1: Thursday, April 7, 2022, 1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT
- Session 2: Thursday, April 14, 2022, 2:00 – 3:00 PM EDT
