MR-2 Envisioning the Future of the Immigrant-Serving Sector Proposed Pilot Project Briefs

With support from the WES Mariam Assefa Fund, ACS-Metropolis Institute began leading a two-year national action research project entitled Envisioning the Future of the Immigrant-Serving Sector. In January 2021 ACS-Metropolis began conducting nationwide research to discover how to strengthen the sector so that can be more responsive, collaborative, innovative and sustainable. We identified actionable solutions by engaging service providers, newcomers, policymakers, employers and other settlement sector stakeholders through a mixed-method research approach.
