Immigrant Family Resource Program

The Immigrant Family Resource Program (IFRP) is a joint collaboration between the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR), the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), and 44 ethnic, community-based organizations across Illinois. 

 

Since its inception in 2000, the goal of the IFRP has been to connect immigrant families and other limited English-speaking persons in Illinois to the public benefits and services they need for proper health, well-being, and economic self-sufficiency.

IFRP Services at QCAIR

QCAIR & the Immigrant 

As a proud partner of the Immigrant Family Resource Program (IFRP), QCAIR works to connect immigrant and refugee families with the resources they need to succeed. Through IFRP, we provide outreach, case management, language support, information, and advocacy so families can access public benefits and essential services.

​

At QCAIR, we go even further. We help families find safe and stable housing, connect them with job opportunities, and support students by assisting with applications like FAFSA for children of immigrants. Beyond resources, we focus on strong advocacy—standing alongside immigrants and refugees to ensure their voices are heard and their rights are protected.

Most importantly, QCAIR is here when families need us most—offering guidance, support, and community every step of the way.
