Supporting Newcomers

It is often said that the United States is a nation of newcomers. Typically characterized as individuals who were born in another country, millions of newcomers (also known as immigrants) have settled in the U.S. over the last several hundred years. Newcomers come to the U.S. for a variety of reasons – as students, permanent residents, temporary workers or refugees. While collectively, all newcomers share the common bond of being born outside of the U.S., as individuals their goals, wants and needs are very diverse.
