2 hours ago | 41 views

The New Zealand Government has made the Community Organisation Refugee Sponsorship (CORS) programme a permanent part of its refugee resettlement system, starting 1 July with an initial 50 places and scaling to 200 places annually by 2027. CORS complements the existing Refugee Quota Programme by combining government-funded core services with community-led settlement support, fostering strong employment, housing, education, and social outcomes for refugees. The overall refugee intake remains at 1,500 annually, with CORS places allocated from within existing baselines to ensure a sustainable, effective resettlement approach.
