Matthew House Refugee Reception Services

Matthew House will pilot an expansion of its Refugee Hearing Program (RHP) by creating an RHP chapter in the Kitchener-Waterloo area that uses video-conferencing to provide legal education to local refugee claimants. This innovative program helps claimants prepare for their hearings by providing them with an understanding of what to expect in their hearing. The preparation allows them better represent themselves at the hearing and receiving a more objective and fair outcome.
