In 2009, IIE formally joined USCRI as a Field Office. Since 1980, 8,839 newcomers have been resettled in the Erie area with assistance from USCRI.

Newly arrived refugees receive a comprehensive set of services including housing placement, cultural orientation, school enrollment, coordination of initial health appointments, and employment preparation and placement.
