IRIS: Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services Information

IRIS (Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services) is a dynamic, national refugee resettlement agency with offices in New Haven and Hartford, CT and staff located across the country. IRIS serves people from all over the world who have fled persecution in their home countries to start new lives and become contributing members of their new communities. This happens in two ways: staff-facilitated resettlement in Connecticut and staff supporting community and private sponsorship of refugees across the U.S. The latter program is through our membership in the seven-organization consortium called "Welcome Corps". While IRIS has traditionally focused on helping refugees, it is increasingly serving our undocumented neighbors and other immigrants as well.
