Salt Lake City Resources for Refugees and New Americans

Residents in Salt Lake City can reach out to city staff such as the policy advisor for Refugees and New Americans to request information and assistance for resources and services available specifically to your community.

Use the Good Neighbor Guide to connect with the most commonly used city services and departments. The guide is available in Spanish/ Español, Somali/ Af-Soomali, Swahili/ Kiswahili, Burmese/ မြန်မာ and Karen.


The Know Your Neighbor (KYN) program is a partnership between the Salt Lake City Mayor’s Office of Access & Belonging and the State Refugee Services Office. We connect local volunteers with refugees in Utah. Find more about how to volunteer or how to request a volunteer to work with a refugee in the community.


INTERPRETER SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR FREE. Language Access Policy: Salt Lake City’s policy is to provide timely, meaningful language access to services or programs to members of the public who have a limited ability to speak, understand, read, or write English.
