ABSTRACT This article introduces the Refugee Community Partnership Model (RCPM), an easily accessible and applicable model for addressing the challenges smaller urban communities face in responding to the unique needs of refugees in the United States. Social service delivery in municipalities with limited numbers of refugees is impacted by broad geographic boundaries, perceived capacity of gateway service provider organizations, mix of urban and rural service delivery regions, varying degrees of ethnic and cultural diversity of geographic area, and the existence of minimally defined and recognized non-place-based social networks. In short, some communities may have differing levels of readiness to welcome new refugees. The combination of well-established community assessment framework constructs and best practices gleaned from relevant literature on resettlement challenges offers comprehensive tools for strengthening rights-based and refugee-centered social service delivery specific to the size and uniqueness of smaller urban areas. The resulting blueprint in the form of the RCPM provides much needed direction. This model aims to assist social service providers, planners, educators, social workers, health care providers, and community members in meeting the social service needs of refugee populations as well as the needs of communities assigned to resettle refugees.

背景、承诺和能力：美国较小城市社区的难民社区伙伴关系模型

摘要 本文介绍了难民社区伙伴关系模型 (RCPM)，这是一种易于访问且适用的模型，用于解决较小的城市社区在应对美国难民的独特需求时所面临的挑战。难民人数有限的城市的社会服务提供受到广泛的地理边界、门户服务提供者组织的感知能力、城市和农村服务提供区域的混合、地理区域不同程度的种族和文化多样性以及最低限度的存在的影响。定义和认可的非基于地点的社交网络。简而言之，一些社区可能对欢迎新难民的准备程度有所不同。完善的社区评估框架结构与从有关重新安置挑战的相关文献中收集的最佳实践相结合，为加强针对较小城市地区的规模和独特性的基于权利和以难民为中心的社会服务提供提供了综合工具。最终以 RCPM 形式出现的蓝图提供了急需的方向。该模式旨在协助社会服务提供者、规划者、教育工作者、社会工作者、医疗保健提供者和社区成员满足难民人口的社会服务需求以及指定安置难民的社区的需求。最终以 RCPM 形式出现的蓝图提供了急需的方向。该模式旨在协助社会服务提供者、规划者、教育工作者、社会工作者、医疗保健提供者和社区成员满足难民人口的社会服务需求以及指定安置难民的社区的需求。最终以 RCPM 形式出现的蓝图提供了急需的方向。该模式旨在协助社会服务提供者、规划者、教育工作者、社会工作者、医疗保健提供者和社区成员满足难民人口的社会服务需求以及指定安置难民的社区的需求。
