The Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services, also known as IRIS, announced Wednesday it will be closing its New Haven location.
The office, located on 235 Nicoll St., will close by April 30.
The nonprofit has an office in Hartford, according to its website.
According to a statement, the closure is due to the sudden federal funding reductions to the nonprofit's critical client-serving programs. As a result, the nonprofit had to make what they describe as cost-saving decisions, which include reducing operational expenses.
Despite the closure, Maggie Mitchell-Salem, IRIS's executive director, says the nonprofit is committed to providing essential services to refugees and immigrants.
