Asian Resources

What Asian Resources does

Asian Resources, Inc. (ARI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1980 in Sacramento, California, delivering culturally and linguistically responsive wraparound services to immigrants, refugees, asylees, Special Immigrant Visa holders, low-income families, limited-English-proficient populations, and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities. ARI operates through three physical locations in the Sacramento region (Headquarters at 6270 Elder Creek Rd, the Job Center at 2411 Alhambra Blvd, and the Citrus Heights site housing the Refugee Support Center), with services delivered free of charge to clients by bilingual and multilingual staff spanning 18+ languages.

The organization's program portfolio comprises six core service lines: Job Center Services (employment support and placement serving ~2,000 clients annually, funded by SETA); Refugee Support Services (vocational English, employment, and on-the-job training for newcomers); Health Equity and Advocacy Program (statewide policy work on data disaggregation and culturally competent care); Youth Development Initiatives (ages 14-24, including Out-of-School Youth and Digital Literacy Navigators); Additional ARI Services (digital literacy, benefits enrollment for Covered California/Medi-Cal/CalFresh/CalWORKs, immigration legal clinic, utility assistance); and Special Workshops (resume building, basic computer classes). ARI does not operate a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-mediated.

The business model is a grant-funded nonprofit model with no client fees. Revenue is sourced from Federal, State, and Local government grants and contracts (SETA, NTIA, CARES), foundation grants (Sierra Health Foundation, United Way, and others), corporate sponsorships (Comcast, US Bank), individual contributions, and fundraising events such as the Autumn Moon Dinner. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: outreach flows through 40+ partner organizations, ethnic media, word-of-mouth within immigrant/refugee networks, community health worker deployment, and trusted-messenger referrals. ARI is governed by a community-reflective Board of Directors led by President Thi Do and Executive Director Rejie Marie Baloyos, with audited financial statements published annually.

Direct peers

• CASA: Mid-Atlantic nonprofit providing immigrant workforce development, English language training, and citizenship services via community-based direct delivery — comparable service mix to ARI's Job Center and ESL offerings, with a similar regional-scale operational footprint.
• Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC): National AANHPI civil rights and policy organization where ARI's Policy Director previously worked; closely comparable in health equity, language access, and AANHPI advocacy focus. ARI is a smaller, direct-service-oriented peer; AAJC operates at the national policy level.
• Asian Law Caucus: San Francisco-based AANHPI legal and civil rights organization where ARI's Policy Director previously worked; overlapping AANHPI advocacy and language access mission with comparable free community service model. Strong overlap in policy and immigrant rights work.
• Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES): Texas-based nonprofit providing refugee resettlement, immigration legal services, and community education with a similar wraparound service philosophy to ARI. Comparable scale as a regional nonprofit offering free, multilingual, culturally responsive services.
• Nationalities Service Center (NSC): Philadelphia-based refugee resettlement and immigration legal services nonprofit offering employment, English language, and integration programs comparable to ARI's refugee and workforce development portfolio. Similar regional nonprofit scale and direct-service model.

Regional players

• OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates: National AANHPI civic advocacy organization with a Sacramento chapter (OCA-Sacramento) that partners with ARI. Comparable mission around AANHPI empowerment and policy advocacy, with overlapping community outreach and constituency engagement.
• International Institute of Los Angeles (IILA): Los Angeles-based refugee resettlement and immigrant services nonprofit offering employment, ESL, and case management comparable to ARI's refugee and job center programs. Operates in a different California metro but addresses the same immigrant/refugee population.

Broad incumbents

• HIAS: Jewish-founded global refugee resettlement agency operating U.S. programs in employment, legal services, integration, and English language training that directly parallel ARI's refugee support, employment, and ESL offerings. ARI's refugee-focused work competes for similar federal/state funding pools.
• Catholic Charities USA: Federated network of diocesan social service agencies providing refugee resettlement, immigration legal aid, employment, and housing services similar to ARI's wraparound model. Sacramento's Catholic Social Service is a likely local competitor for SETA and refugee funding.
• International Rescue Committee (IRC): Large international refugee resettlement and humanitarian assistance organization with U.S. offices that deliver refugee employment, ESL, and resettlement services comparable to ARI's Refugee Support Services and Job Center programs. ARI operates at a regional scale; IRC is a national/global incumbent offering overlapping services.
