Steering Committee
The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs convened a steering committee made up of staff from a wide range of immigrant - and refugee-serving community-based organizations.
The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs commissioned a comprehensive evaluation of needs, resources and readiness of City government departments and programs to be inclusive of immigrants, refugees, and English-language learners in Albuquerque.
The evaluation, completed July 2017, found a need for improvements in language access to City services and for outreach and navigation services to maximize the participation of immigrants and refugees in all areas of civic life. The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs uses this evaluation as its guide.
