USCRI Albany Details
The Albany Field Office of U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI Albany) is a nonprofit welcoming hundreds of refugees every year to start new lives in the Capital Region of New York State. The largest populations served are from Burma, Iraq, and Bhutan, with additional populations from the Congo, Sudan, Eritrea, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. USCRI Albany focuses on meeting the immediate basic needs of new arrivals, assisting refugees in obtaining early employment and achieving self-sufficiency, and nurturing community integration for new Americans. The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants has been helping people flee war and persecution since 1911. USCRI addresses the needs and rights of persons in forced or voluntary migration worldwide by advancing fair and humane public policy, facilitating and providing direct professional services, and promoting the full participation of migrants in community life. Through its network of resettlement field offices and partner organizations, USCRI provides refugees and immigrants across the United States with the support, services and opportunities they need to rebuild their lives and enrich their communities. From the first bewildering days after arrival, to the excitement of starting a new job, to the elation of purchasing a home or opening a business, USCRI Albany works alongside our clients to help them take the next step towards their successful integration and active participation in the United States.
