Welcome to the Fox Valley
Newcomer Project Community Map!
The data used to create this map was gathered from January-May 2025.
This map shows the organizations and services in the Fox Valley
which support immigrants and refugees as they resettle in the area.
Each sector shows what is available and reflects the perspectives of
Newcomers as well as organizations.
A "Newcomer" is a person or family who has moved to the Fox Valley or the United States in the past 5-10 years and is learning and adjusting to the main languages and cultures of our region.
