Building Community In New Hampshire
Helping Refugees and other Immigrants Navigate Their Way To Safe, Healthy, Productive, Prosperous, and connected lives in New Hampshire
BCNH is a multi-service organization that helps refugees build safe, healthy, and connected lives in New Hampshire. True to our roots as a mutual aid organization, our case managers are former refugees from the very same communities as our clients. They speak the same languages and understand the challenges of our clients because they have taken that journey themselves.
We do this work because New Hampshire needs a growing workforce, our communities need young, energetic families, and displaced people from around the world need a welcoming place to call home.
Looking for services?
Do you need help navigating American systems? If you are a refugee who has been in the US for less than 5 years, BCNH can help. Our case managers can help you find employment, access benefits, support your kids in school, and keep your paperwork current.
Looking to donate?
With changes in federal policies, BCNH is funding steep funding cuts in the fall of 2026, but the needs of the communities we serve remain. More than ever, we need your financial support to keep our doors open to New Americans in our community.
Looking to make a referral?
If you know someone who can benefit from BCNH’s case management services, reach out to our Deputy Director Vijay Bhujel vbhujel@bcinnh.org. BCNH typically works with refugees who have been in the US for less than five years, but we have some private support that allows us to work outside these parameters.
Our Services
-
Empowering Economic Success
Refugee families are eager to succeed in America. We give them the tools. Our workforce development program assists clients with job coaching and placement, obtaining a driver’s license, ESOL classes, and continuing formal education.
-
Promoting Healthy Families
Finding and paying for health care is among the most bewildering challenges for any American. BCNH’s multi-lingual case managers, most of whom are certified Community Health Workers, help clients find healthcare, dental care, and sign up for Medicaid and SNAP benefits while they build their economic resources.
-
Securing Stability and Security
All of BCNH’s case managers are former refugees and immigrants themselves. They speak the same languages as our clients, understand their culture, and have first hand experience of being a New American. Our case managers help individuals and families solve problems, understand changing immigration systems, and navigate American life. The services they provide range from finding housing, translating and preparing immigration forms, accessing school-based supports, and preparing for Citizenship.
Please Help Us Build Strong And Diverse Communities In New Hampshire.
BCNH relies on individual donations and grants to do most of our work.
