Provider map: Where to get Resettlement Network Services in Minnesota

The Resettlement Programs Office (RPO) works with partners and local communities to invest in new Minnesotans. Together, we help newcomers build well-being and make Minnesota stronger.

RPO provides federally funded services through a statewide group called Minnesota Resettlement Network Services (RNS). These services are for people under humanitarian protection during their first five years in the U.S.

Over 40 RNS partner organizations provide services in six different regions of the state. They help new Minnesotans adjust to life in a new country, find jobs, do well in school and more. Most services have a main organization called a lead agency overseeing the work statewide, along with local partners in each of the six regions. Sometimes, one organization provides a service for the whole state.

Use the interactive map below to find agencies in the six regions, learn what services they offer and get their contact information. An accessible spreadsheet of providers (XLS) is also available. These tools can help people find services or help partner organizations connect with their peers across the state.

There is no wrong way to connect to services:

Contact the statewide lead agencies, which oversee services statewide.
Reach out to local partners from the map.
