The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with locations in the United States, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, and Kenya, and a national network of nearly 200 partner agencies that provide support for those experiencing forced and voluntary displacement.

For over a hundred years, the U.S. Committee for Refugee and Immigrants (USCRI) has fought for a future where "migrants, refugees, and uprooted people will live dignified lives with their rights respected and protected in communities of opportunity."

Its work currently focuses on refugee resettlement, home study and post-release services for unaccompanied children, anti-trafficking, refugee health, immigration legal services, and policy and advocacy.

The current president and CEO is Eskinder Negash, who previously served as the director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) from 2009 to 2015.
