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.
