Matching is the process of identifying the best possible pairing of beneficiary with host community. This process must consider the needs of the refugees, especially with respect to their psychophysical vulnerabilities and possible family-related issues (e.g., they might have a large family), and the reception and integration capabilities available at the various local Caritas units, both in terms of their professionalism and the existence of their partnerships with hospitals, therapy facilities, schools, and municipal social services. Matching is an important characteristic of the Human Corridors project because it represents the starting point for the construction of a path toward integration that is as personalized to the particular beneficiaries as possible; it allows for the beneficiaries to be fully inserted into the social context of the community that is welcoming them.
One example of the matching process would be a family with a deaf child being placed at a diocesan Caritas unit located near a school that teaches Italian Sign Language.
