IRIS: Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services is a nonprofit organization in the field of individual and family services that assists refugees and immigrants through staff-facilitated resettlement in Connecticut and by supporting community and private sponsorship across the United States. Based in New Haven, Connecticut, with offices in New Haven and Hartford and staff located nationwide, IRIS serves people who have fled persecution and seeks to help them establish new lives and become contributing members of their communities. The organization has grown to also serve undocumented neighbors and other immigrants, expanding beyond traditional refugee resettlement to address broader immigration needs. In addition to its core resettlement work, IRIS participates in the Welcome Corps consortium, which facilitates private sponsorship and community engagement across the U.S. A recent development noted is a partnership with Community Soup Kitchen, illustrating collaboration with local organizations. IRIS operates within the broader human services sector, focusing on integration, support, and pathways to stability for immigrant communities.
