Integration Family Services (IFS) was founded at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic as a grassroots effort by East African childcare providers, parents, and families to create a central network of health, housing, social services, education, and employment resources and trusted support for Somali communities. IFS serves as a regional hub that nurtures and supports individuals, children and families in historically underserved East African immigrant and refugee communities through culturally relevant and language- specific services and programs.
