The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) is an office within the City of Albuquerque created to connect immigrants and refugees to opportunities within our community that will assist them in advancing their social and economic mobility. Objectives include but are not limited to, 1) Connecting immigrants and refugees to culturally-relevant, linguistically appropriate services within city government; 2) Creating opportunities within city libraries, community centers, and other public spaces to engage immigrants and refugees; 3) Developing networks of community-based service providers to meet the comprehensive needs of immigrants and refugees; 4) Strengthen city policy as it relates to immigrant and refugee rights. OIRA will be a central point of contact within city government to assist in navigating community resources, including legal services, workforce development, early childhood, business development, and other wraparound support services to strengthen families.
