Hello and Welcome to the Agency for New Americans' website! ANA is entering its 13th year as a refugee resettlement agency in Boise. We are hopeful that this site will provide more information about our clients and the work that we do. Program Update : We find ourselves welcoming refugees to Boise and working to resettle them in a more challenging environment than in previous years. I want to take a moment to thank this amazing community for receiving our new neighbors with such open arms. Despite tough economic times, we are continually surprised by the generosity of individuals, organizations and businesses who donate, volunteer and employ refugees. Our community partners, while acknowledging obstacles and barriers to working with refugees, continue to educate them, rent to them, and befriend them. It does take a village to help reufgees integrate and begin to contribute back to the community that has given them so much. We are always looking for more volunteers, donors, and partners, so if you want to get involved in an effort that makes the global local, please get in touch with us soon! ANA's clients are currently arriving from Iraq, Afghanistan, Congo, Burma, Bhutan, Somalia, and Uzbekistan. The community coordination meetings that began last year continue to take place quarterly and have brought together many varied segments of the community involved with refugees. If you are interested, please contact Wendy Morgan at the Idaho Office for Refugees at
