IRIS-Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services

The mission of IRIS-Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services is to help refugees and immigrants establish new lives, regain hope, and contribute to the vitality of Connecticut's communities. IRIS empowers

refugees--people who fled their home countries due to persecution and were invited by the federal government to resettle here--and non-refugee immigrants, to become self-sufficient and integrated into their new communities. IRIS meets their basic needs: furnished housing, food, clothing, case management and help to start jobs. IRIS also offers English classes; youth development and education programs; legal assistance to reunite families and helps clients to apply for citizenship; health care coordination; and programs to promote emotional wellness.
