summary

The Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society was established in 1881 to provide immediate shelter for immigrants newly arrived to America. Alongside short-term assistance, the Society also helped immigrants find employment in New York and New Jersey and established agricultural colonies in other states to provide land on which they could settle. Later the Society modified its name to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society - universally known today as HIAS.
