Immigration Resource Archive
In partnership with Conectados NYC. Together, we’ve gathered this resource list to support immigrant communities across New York City, because care is a collective act.
We made this because we know how hard it can be to find answers.
When you're dealing with fear, stress, or survival, the last thing you should have to do is dig through endless websites just to find help.
We’ve been there. We’ve watched people we love struggle to access what should already be guaranteed: safety, care, support, and dignity.
So we created this resource list as a small way to cut through the noise. A way to make support feel a little more reachable. A little more human.
You’ll find legal services, mutual aid groups, healthcare options, and other tools for immigrant communities across New York City.
