SF Immigrant Forum (formerly SF-CAIRS)
The SF Immigrant Forum is a coalition and inter-agency partnership between the Office of Civic Engagement and Immigrant Affairs, Department of Public Health, Human Services Agency and the Mayor’s Office on Housing and Community Development to share immigrant services and resources in San Francisco.
Established in 2007 as SF-CAIRS, SF Immigrant Forum is a coalition of organizations serving the San Francisco Bay Area asylee, immigrant and refugee community and service providers. SF Immigrant Forum is a multidisciplinary body of over 60 agencies and 240 members with representation from city, state and federal partners, community-based organizations, employment, immigration and health care providers, educational and vocational training organizations and other support services.
We collaborate to ensure all immigrants live healthy and productive lives in a safe and inclusive environment by expanding resource knowledge among service providers about health, employment, social, education and legal services for recent refugees, political asylees and immigrants in San Francisco.
SF Immigrant Forum aims to serve San Francisco Bay Area asylee, immigrant and refugee communities and its service providers by:
- Expanding knowledge, linkage, and access to healthcare, employment, social, education and legal services;
- Supporting advocacy efforts through coalition-wide networking, information sharing, cross-referrals, and community outreach;
- Identifying and addressing challenges faced by immigrants at personal and structural levels.
