We bridge the gap that exists between current State Department and NGO refugee relief programs,and provide assistance with housing, employment and cultural adaptation. We treat our clients as the heroic veterans they are.As the Atlantic Council’s Deputy Director of the Albright-Hadley Middle East Strategy Task Force, Jessica Ashooh focuses on how the United States and its allies can more comprehensively address the growing challenges of state failure and violent extremism in the Middle East and set the region on a more positive trajectory.
