Founded in 1881 originally to assist Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe, HIAS has touched the life of nearly every Jewish family in America and now welcomes all who have fled persecution.
From our beginnings in a storefront on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a group of American Jews organized to provide much-needed comfort and aid to thousands of Jews fleeing waves of anti-Semitic riots. While those who arrived were refugees – people who were being killed in their homelands because of who they were – the world did not yet have a legal concept for people who needed safe refuge outside their homelands.
In New York City, the once tiny Russian Jewish population swelled by the thousands. They formed the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society to provide meals, transportation and jobs for the new arrivals to Manhattan.
A shelter was established on the Lower East Side providing dormitory space, a soup kitchen and clothing to any needy Jew.
HIAS established a bureau on Ellis Island in 1904 providing translation services, guiding immigrants through medical screenings, arguing before the Boards of Special Enquiry to prevent deportations, and obtaining bonds to guarantee employable status. We lent some the $25 landing fee and sold railroad tickets at reduced rates to those headed for other cities. We even installed a kosher kitchen, which provided more than half a million meals to new arrivals on Ellis Island.
HIAS also found relatives of detained immigrants. Six hundred immigrants were detained during just one month in 1917 because they had neither money nor friends to claim them. HIAS was able to locate relatives for the vast majority who were then released from Ellis Island.
We became famous worldwide - and in many languages - as HIAS, the abbreviation that was our first cable address.
In 1921, HIAS bought the former Astor Library on Lafayette Street in Manhattan to serve as a shelter providing housing, kosher kitchens, a small synagogue, classrooms for job training and civics education, a playground, and a weekly bazaar for the thousands of immigrants who passed through the doors each year.
In the 1920s laws changed to recognize the need for safe haven but countries like the United States established legal requirements for resettlement. HIAS expanded to ensure that Jewish refugees could find welcome and safety.
REFUGEES IN THE UNITED STATES
Each year, the U.S. welcomes thousands of refugees from countries such as Somalia, Syria, Ukraine, Burma, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Before arriving in the U.S., refugees must undergo thorough screening including interviews, background checks and medical exams.
After refugees clear these vetting procedures and take part in other pre-arrival activities, each case is matched with one of nine resettlement agencies (RAs). The resettlement agencies then match the needs of each case with resources available in a local community. If an incoming case already has family in the U.S., they will likely be resettled near or with them.
Once a case has been matched with an RA and all other steps are complete, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) transports the refugee(s) to their new home in the United States. Transportation to the U.S. is provided as a loan by IOM, and refugees are required to repay it after they arrive in the U.S.
HIAS BENEFICIARIES IN THE UNITED STATES
As part of the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), refugees and Special Immigrant Visa holders (SIVs) are the sole beneficiaries of HIAS programs in the United States. HIAS also offers legal services to asylum seekers and other immigrants through its legal department. During FY 2017, HIAS resettled approximately 3,300 refugees and SIVs.
Basic Needs
The Reception and Placement (R&P) program benefits all refugees in the U.S. from the moment they enter the country, until 90 days after arrival. Through the program, HIAS affiliates provide essential services to refugees, including airport reception; safe, affordable, sanitary housing; essential furnishings, food and clothing; cultural and community orientation; English as a Second Language enrollment; and assistance with access to other social, medical and employment services.
Social Integration
HIAS works to ensure refugees have opportunities to create connections with local communities and find necessary support for long-term integration. The Preferred Communities program serves particularly vulnerable refugees through intensive case management, extensive cultural orientation, and links refugees to longer-term community services. HIAS also hosts Refugee AmeriCorps Members at local affiliates to build capacity focused on volu
Economic Integration
Economic Integration is essential in order for refugees to become self-sufficient and successfully integrate in the United States. HIAS assists refugees with integration through programs such as Matching Grant (MG), Individual Development Accounts (IDA), and Microenterprise Development (MED) along with HIAS’ financial literacy curriculum. The MG program pairs engages volunteers and donations to support refugees soon after their arrival and emphasizes rapid employment. The IDA program matches savings of refugees to build assets. The MED program empowers refugee women, who generally have limited access to capital and credit, to start and operate microenterprises from their homes to increase their household’s income through education, training, peer networks, and mentorship. The program increases self-confidence, expands access to social and financial networks, and provides an understanding of the financial services industry, including financial literacy to ensure women can economically integrate in the U.S.
