Boise office looks for support of immigration and citizenship services
The IRC in Boise launches an appeal to support its immigration and citizenship program. There is a high demand from refugees and immigrants for citizenship support. People who have held green cards for many years are stepping forward to finish the process. Families have sometimes before made difficult decisions to protect one family member and not others due to the cost.
