Office of New Americans

About

DEED’s Office of New Americans is focused on coordinating state government efforts to bring together New Americans, employers, local governments, nonprofits and other partners to create the welcoming communities we all want and engage all Minnesotans more fully in a successful state economy.

DEED staff in our Office of New Americans serve as the state's specialists on issues relating to immigrants, refugees and evacuees – working across state agencies and with the governor's office, as well as with community and business leaders throughout Minnesota to break down barriers and build connections.

Our staff play a significant role in fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive society that benefits all Minnesotans.
