“The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) defines a refugee as an individual who is outside their country of nationality, or if they have no nationality, their last habitual residence, and who is unable or unwilling to return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion”

Our programs are dedicated to helping refugees thrive in the United States. Before a refugee family’s arrival, we secure safe and suitable housing for them. From the moment they are picked up at the airport until they achieve self-sufficiency within 90 days, we provide comprehensive services. Additionally, we offer continued support to families beyond the initial 90 days to ensure their ongoing success. We focus on enrolling children in school, enabling adults to achieve self-sufficiency through employment or entrepreneurship, and ensuring families receive necessary medical care to recover from trauma or illness. IRUSA supports those in need in rebuilding their lives and reclaiming their future in their new communities.
