Title: | United Service for New Americans Records |
Dates: | undated, 1946-1954 |
Abstract: | This collection contains correspondence, records, and publications of the United Service for New Americans (USNA), the major immigration and resettlement organization in the United States for Jewish displaced persons immigrating in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These records document USNA’s interaction and coordination with the United States government’s Displaced Persons Commission, associated Jewish agencies, particularly the American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), and representatives of Jewish settlement groups in cities and towns across the country. The organization helped obtain housing and job assurances for Jewish refugees without family in the United States and provided assurances that they would not become public charges. The correspondence and records in this collection document the entire process of immigration and resettlement, including obtaining the necessary assurances required for displaced persons to immigrate to the United States, relief services provided immediately upon the refugees’ arrival, their designation to and arrival in communities across the country, and the services provided to the new immigrants by their local Jewish communities thereafter. |

Historical Note
The United Service for New Americans (USNA) was formed through the merger of the National Refugee Service (NRS) and the National Service to Foreign Born of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW). The merger became official on August 1, 1946; however, the two agencies began to consolidate their services in June of that year.
A constituent agency of the United Jewish Appeal, the United Service for New Americans served as the major immigration and resettlement organization in the United States for Jewish refugees immigrating in the wake of World War II. Substantial immigration to the United States from Europe resumed in May 1946, as a result of President Harry S. Truman’s December 1945 directive requiring that existing immigration quotas be designated for displaced persons. As immigrants arrived in New York, USNA received them upon arrival, providing temporary shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. USNA set up similar reception and relief programs in San Francisco to serve emigrants arriving from Shanghai.
However, the involvement of the United Service for New Americans in the immigration process began long before new immigrants arrived in American ports. USNA was authorized by the government to provide group assurances as the basis for issuing visas to displaced persons in the American-occupied zones of Europe. These assurances provided for immigrants who did not have relatives in the United States or whose American family could not provide suitable assurances to the government that he or she would not become a public charge. In 1947, the agency was authorized to extend the assurances to displaced persons in Shanghai.
On October 28, 1948, USNA reached an agreement with the American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) that centralized within USNA the responsibility for coordinating with American Jewish communities and the Displaced Persons Commission to provide group assurances of jobs and housing for immigrants. USNA was charged with obtaining such assurances, transmitting them to the Displaced Persons Commission for certification, and processing and resettling all people arriving under such assurances. The JDC and HIAS agreed to pool overseas lists of Jewish displaced persons seeking entrance to the United States.
The United Service for New Americans coordinated closely with the JDC throughout the process of bringing Jewish displaced persons to the United States. The process began with welfare agencies, NCJW sections, and refugee committees in cities and towns across the United States finding local housing and job availabilities for displaced persons and reporting these availabilities to USNA. USNA would then certify these openings to the Displaced Persons Commission so that visas would be granted to Jewish displaced persons. The overseas migration service of the JDC was responsible for assisting Jewish displaced persons in applying for visas and helping them prepare for immigration. Once the visas were granted, immigrants were able to travel to the United States; USNA would meet the immigrants upon arrival and coordinate their travel to their final destinations. Immigrants would be met at their final destinations by representatives of local welfare agencies, NCJW sections, and refugee committees, who not only located jobs and housing but provided other welfare services, including social work services, assistance with social and cultural adjustment, financial and medical aid, education, English-language and Americanization programs, and vocational counseling. USNA provided each community a sum to cover the first two week’s maintenance so that the new immigrant would not be dependent immediately upon arrival. The community would continue its commitment to the new immigrant until he or she was self-sufficient.
In 1949, peak immigration levels led to the division of USNA into two separate organizations. Prior to 1949, in addition to its national activities, a special USNA division provided relief for new immigrants settling in New York City. In July 1949, the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA) was established to take over local relief functions in New York, allowing USNA to function for the first time as a national agency. As such, USNA no longer functioned primarily as a relief-granting agency, becoming instead primarily an agency facilitating immigration and resettlement.
On August 24, 1954, the United Service for New Americans merged with HIAS and the overseas migration service of the JDC to establish the United HIAS Service.

This database contains correspondence between the United Service for New Americans and representatives of welfare agencies, NCJW sections, and refugee committees in cities and towns across the United States regarding the arrival of immigrants settling in these various communities. USNA sent each community a summary of individuals settled in that community under the established quota during the previous month. In order to confirm each immigrant’s arrival, USNA sent forms for community representatives to fill out and return, including the date individuals arrived in the community and indicating whether they had remained, did not arrive, or arrived but left. These forms include the name of the community and settlement agency responsible, USNA case number for each individual or family arriving, along with their names, ages, and port of entry with date of arrival. Additional correspondence between USNA and the community settlement agencies concerns the per capita allowance paid by USNA to cover the first two week’s maintenance.

English. | ||||
Box 19, Folder 1 -- Box 19, Folder 7. | ||||
Scope and Content:This series contains forms reporting agency community assurances not used by an individual upon his or her arrival in the United States.

The series also includes reports on agency community assurances not utilized, which were issued on a weekly basis. These reports contain numbers on the total amount of unutilized assurances, as well as the number of those for whom an individual assurance was substituted, were resettled in another community, or other reasons. Also included is a breakdown by community of these same categories. | ||||
