HR 5025 United States House · 118th Congress

National Office of New Americans Act

HR 5025 establishes the National Office of New Americans within the Executive Office of the President to coordinate federal efforts supporting immigrant and refugee integration. The Office, led by a presidentially appointed Director, aims to improve access to English language programs, workforce development, citizenship pathways, and education for immigrants, refugees, and their children. Key mechanisms include creating three Deputy Director roles (Citizenship, Workforce, Children's Integration), forming a Federal Initiative with cabinet secretaries to coordinate agency responses, and requiring biannual reports to Congress on integration progress and policy impacts. The bill directly affects federal agencies, state/local governments, and the immigrant/refugee communities they serve by standardizing and enhancing integration support across government programs.
