Refugees Welcome Poland
The Refugees Welcome Poland program supports people seeking international protection, and those who have been granted protection. We provide support in integration—getting to know Polish culture and language—and also help solve problems related to accommodation.
The program helps people with refugee experience rent a room in the homes of residents of Warsaw and the surrounding area. Participants in the program are people from different parts of the world and from different countries, in different financial and living situations. As a rule, they are single people—we do not accept large families into the program, although sometimes the participant is a single parent with a child, or a couple.
The program has been operating in and around Warsaw since 2016. Refugees can count on the support of Polish volunteers who help them learn Polish. They also have access to the Ocalenie Foundation’s specialized, free services: Polish language courses, psychological support, legal support, and cultural mentoring. The program operates in and around Warsaw, as this is where the foundation is able to provide the necessary comprehensive support to participants.
Hosts renting rooms also receive support from the Refugees Welcome team. We assist in preparing the rental agreement and organizing the move, and in case of any problems. We want to make living together a comfortable experience for both parties.
How can you help?
We are urgently looking for rooms for rent in and around Warsaw! There is a shortage, and the need is great.
Welcome Home
At the end of April 2026, after nearly nine years of operation, the Witaj w domu program was closed due to financial reasons. Since 2017, this important initiative has helped 33 refugee families (a total of 153 people) successfully strive for independence, stabilize their lives in Poland, and overcome the crisis of homelessness. The phase-out process of the project was gradual and carried out in cooperation with the participating families to ensure their safe transition to a new stage. All families in need of further support remain in constant contact with the Help Center for Foreigners. There, they are provided with full access to mentoring, legal, psychological, and career assistance, as well as educational support for children.
We are looking for apartments and rooms for rent in Warsaw and surrounding areas. We provide owners with full support and a stable, long-term rental.
Act with us!
It is difficult for foreigners to find a room or apartment in Poland. The problem is that landlords considering renting premises to foreigners often feel fearful and uncertain.
We want to support people with refugee experience to find a roof over their heads, but it is also important to us that landlords feel safe and are satisfied with renting their housing to foreigners.
