RECEPTION & PLACEMENT PROGRAM

After 7 years of losing our Refugee Resettlement Agency status due to the sharp curbing of refugee admissions, we are excited to announce that the ACA’s resettlement status is once again active. 

We are also proud to have been selected as the very first affiliate of the International Rescue Committee (IRC). 

ACA’s Reception and Placement program (R&P), which works through International Rescue Committee (IRC), began welcoming and resettling refugees in May 2023. 

ACA is committed to providing pathways that enable newcomers the opportunity to become self sufficient and successful.

Since the International Rescue Committee (IRC) was first founded at the request of Albert Einstein in 1933, their global team of more than 17,000 staff have helped people upended by conflict and crisis to survive, recover, and regain control of their lives. Today they work in more than 40 countries and over 25 U.S. and European cities, from conflict-affected countries like Yemen to resettlement communities like Boise, Idaho.

They focus their support in five areas:

 

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) helps people affected by humanitarian crises—including the climate crisis—to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.

 

 

 

The IRC in New York provides opportunities for refugees, asylees, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture, and other immigrants to thrive in America. The IRC helps them to rebuild their lives. 

Each year, thousands of people, forced to flee violence and persecution, are welcomed by the people of the United States into the safety and freedom of America. These individuals have survived against incredible odds. The IRC works with government bodies, civil society actors, and local volunteers to help them translate their past experiences into assets that are valuable to their new communities.

In all their programming, they address the unique needs of women and girls (who represent the majority of those displaced)—and the barriers to progress everywhere they work.
