SafePlace International is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Oakland, California. Its mission is to protect and empower doubly marginalized refugees worldwide by establishing safety and sustainability frameworks, with a focus on meeting essential needs, mental health and trauma support, community integration, and education and vocational training to foster sustainable employment opportunities. The organization supports grassroots groups to deliver provisions such as food and housing, trauma first aid and harm mitigation, and programs that encourage asylum communities to engage with broader populations both online and in person. SafePlace International operates within the non-profit sector, aiming to create inclusive environments where diverse identities are recognized and valued, and where survival and care of vulnerable populations are prioritized. Recent developments include a partnership with UNHCR Canada to improve conditions for queer refugee populations, reflecting its ongoing collaboration with international partners to extend basic necessities to camp residents.
