Supporting refugee and immigrant communities in the East Bay Area since 1978.
The East Bay Refugee and Immigrant Forum (EBRIF) is a coalition of over 30 agencies serving refugees, asylees, and immigrants in the San Francisco East Bay. We work to address gaps in knowledge, identify barriers to service, and strengthen overall service provision on an inter-agency level. We are dedicated to advocating on behalf of displaced persons and immigrants who now reside in the East Bay, and to raising public awareness of refugees and immigrants on all governmental levels.
Other Bay Area immigrant & refugee forums include:
Stand Together Contra Costa
SF-CAIRS
Refugee and Immigrant Forum of Santa Clara County
The County of San Mateo Office of Community Affairs
