The Virginia Department of Social Services’ Office of New Americans (ONA) administers eight federally funded refugee assistance programs that provide comprehensive support to help eligible individuals achieve stability, self-sufficiency, and community integration.

During State Fiscal Year 2025, these programs collectively served thousands of clients statewide, providing a wide range of services including employment and vocational training, youth mentorship, educational support, health education, and financial and medical assistance. Service delivery was achieved through partnerships with local resettlement agencies, school divisions, and community organizations located in key resettlement areas across Virginia. Through these collaborative efforts, ONA ensured equitable access to services that promote economic independence, civic engagement, and overall well-being among refugee and immigrant populations.
