Has anyone sponsored refugees in their homes?

I contacted a Jewish Orginization in Pittsburgh that is suppose to get refugees.
Don’t know if I’ll hear anything.

Is that the organization you are considering? I donated to them after the shooting at the synagogue

So I thought we might, but there are Visa rules preventing it apparently.

provided housing is available. US immigration policy will require visas though.
I would certainly provide temporary housing at my home. I don't think any NGO has started a program for refuge in the US yet.
However I think a substantial amount of the refugees will want to return to rebuild Ukraine.
