What we do
From the beginning, Philadelphia has worked to be a welcoming place to people from all walks of life. Our country was built by immigrants and our strength as a city is reinforced by our vibrant diversity.
The mission of the Office of Immigrant Affairs (OIA) is to promote the well-being of Philadelphia’s immigrant communities. We do this by recommending and developing policies and programs, which in turn provide opportunity and access to services.
We help facilitate the successful inclusion of immigrants into the civic, economic, and cultural life of the city. We highlight the essential role that immigrants have played and continue to play in our city.
OIA also supports the work of the following commissions:

PCDC EXPO 2025 by Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation
June 14, 20251:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 3 hoursCrane Community Center, 1001 Vine St 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107, USAmapPCDC is excited to announce our 16th annual PCDC EXPO, taking place on Saturday, June 14, 2025. We warmly invite you to join us once again in bringing vital resources to our underserved community. We will also be offering on-site services to assist community members directly. These services will include help with applying for benefits and public programs. We would be grateful if your organization could participate by providing such services.
We welcome your participation as an exhibitor, service provider, or sponsor. The EXPO aims to highlight organizations serving the Asian community—particularly in areas such as housing, social services, and youth programs—and to help new providers connect with the Chinatown community. Our goal is to ensure that attendees leave with greater awareness of available social and financial services, and a stronger connection to the agencies that partner with PCDC.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to seeing you at the EXPO!
