Changes in service due to COVID-19
​

Doug Alles, Executive Director, CCI

Given the COVID-19 outbreak, some of Catholic Charities of Idaho’s services have changed temporarily. It is our intention to do everything we can to preserve the health and safety of the people we serve, our staff, and volunteers. 

​Given the current circumstances in our area, and the most recent guidelines issued from the CDC, and state and local authorities, our offices (Boise and Idaho Falls) remain open for services by appointment only; we remain closed to walk-ins. 

e-Services

​All services provided by CCI can be offered remotely. We have enhanced our e-service capacity, and offer services via phone and video conference. Be sure to ask us about e-service options if this would be your preference!
​

In-Person Services

​If you wish to see us in person, please:

1. Contact your counselor, immigration legal services advisor, or case manager in advance for approval. If you're not sure who to contact, please call 208-345-6031.
2. Understand that our lobby areas are small and only clients with approved appointments can be admitted at this time.
3. Understand that if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, you will need to leave our office and reschedule your appointment.
   
4. Understand that masks are required to enter the building and must be worn at all times when in common areas within our offices.

Please look below for changes for individual programs. CCI continues to monitor developments and directives from the CDC, Idaho's governor, the Central District of Health, and Eastern Idaho Public Health, and will update our plans as new details emerge. 
​

Please watch our website and social media posts for updates.
If you have questions about our services, or whether or not to come to the office, please call us at (208) 345-6031 in advance of your arrival.

We are pleased we can continue providing services to our community. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we together respond to the COVID-19 health concern.
