• SEE SCHEDULE OPROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY 2AS THE OLDEST RESETTLEMENT AGENCY IN THE WORLD AND THE ONLY JEWISH ORGANIZATION DESIGNATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO UNDERTAKE THIS HUMANITARIAN WORK, HIAS WORKS TO HELP REFUGEES BUILD STABLE LIVES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. DESPITE A RECORD HIGH OF MORE THAN 35 MILLION REFUGEES WORLDWIDE, THE NUMBER OF REFUGEES ALLOWED TO RESETTLE IN THE U.S. WAS CAPPED AT 125,000 IN 2022, ALTHOUGH THE ACTUAL NUMBER RESETTLED WAS ONLY 25,465. WITH FEWER NEW ARRIVALS, HIAS INTENSIFIED OUR WORK ACROSS THE U.S. TO ENHANCE THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION OF REFUGEES AS THEY ADJUST TO AMERICAN LIFE. THROUGH OUR NATIONAL RESETTLEMENT NETWORK OF 23 AFFILIATES, HIAS PROVIDED CLIENTS WITH NEW PROGRAMMING AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THEIR FULL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INCLUSION IN THE UNITED STATES.HIAS' ECONOMIC INCLUSION PROGRAMS TAKE A HOLISTIC APPROACH BY SUPPORTING AND EMPOWERING CLIENTS THROUGH EARLY EMPLOYMENT OR ENTREPRENEURSHIP, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY ENHANCING THEIR FINANCIAL CAPABILITY TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. HIAS WORKS WITH CLIENTS NOT ONLY TO GAIN NEW SKILLS FOR OPTIMAL EMPLOYMENT AND A CHANGING WORKFORCE, BUT ALSO TO BUILD THEIR FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE, SAVINGS, AND ASSETS--SUCH AS PURCHASING A VEHICLE OR HOME, STARTING A BUSINESS, OR SAVING FOR HIGHER EDUCATION. ACROSS A RANGE OF INDUSTRIES, HIAS PARTNERS WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL EMPLOYERS TO INTEGRATE REFUGEES INTO THE WORKFORCE AND PROVIDE TRAINING FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND UPWARD MOBILITY. OUR NETWORK OF AFFILIATES ALSO WORKS WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO HELP REFUGEES LAUNCH OR EXPAND SMALL BUSINESSES, ACCESS CONTINUING EDUCATION, AND DEVELOP ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY.IN ADDITION TO ECONOMIC INCLUSION, HIAS' SOCIAL INCLUSION PROGRAMS HELP REFUGEES ACCESS CRITICAL SERVICES AND SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE INTO THEIR NEW COMMUNITIES WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR CULTURE AND IDENTITY. HIAS WORKS WITH CLIENTS TO IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL WELL-BEING, BUILD SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORKS, AND ADJUST TO DAILY LIFE IN A NEW COUNTRY AS THEY BEGIN TO HEAL FROM THE TRAUMA OF DISPLACEMENT.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
