Office of Refugee & Immigrant Support
The Office of Refugee and Immigrant Support (ORIS) was established in March 2023 for the purpose of collaborating with internal City departments, local Resettlement Agencies and county, state, federal, and non-profit partners to devote resources to immigrant populations, regardless of immigration, refugee, or visa status. ORIS serves as a referral partner for individuals of diverse nationalities for services such as employment, healthcare, housing, and other programs for successful transition into the community. We help the City be prepared to welcome new immigrants by recommending policies and programs that connect residents to resources. ORIS will continue to strategically plan, evaluate needs and improve accessible City services for new and existing refugees and immigrants.
