CIANA, the Center for the Integration and Advancement of New Americans, is a nonprofit organization in the Individual and Family Services sector based in Newtown, New York, founded in 2006 by Emira Habiby Browne. It aims to support immigrant integration from arrival onward, building public-private partnerships to serve Arab and South Asian families and youth facing marginalization in a post-9/11 environment. The organization promotes a holistic integration model that identifies newcomers early, acquaints them with American systems and laws, and lays a path toward citizenship and socio-economic and civic participation, while preserving cultural heritage. Its work targets new immigrants and refugees, offering transitional services to reduce marginalization and foster social and economic self-sufficiency through outreach that addresses language and cultural barriers. CIANA has been recognized for its efforts to reach marginalized immigrant communities, and its founder received the Queens Ambassador Award in 2019, reflecting local acknowledgement of its impact, with the aim to serve as a replicable model nationally and globally.
