Here to Stay: A newcomer family support fund

Immigrant and refugee families are facing immense barriers, as rapidly shifting policies attack their human rights. Families are struggling more than ever to access housing, food, jobs, childcare, legal aid, and other vital needs. Your support right now tells newcomer families, "You belong here."

The "Here to Stay" family support fund provides important resources to keep newcomer families safe, healthy, and supported in this moment:

- Emergency funds to help families cover critical needs like rent and food

- Immigration legal support to help families protect their rights

- Know Your Rights and Family Protection training for families and staff

- Case management to help families access vital resources like employment support, housing, and healthcare

- Security measures that help us reinforce our space as a safe hub for kids and families

Your gift helps us provide for families most urgent needs NOW, while we continue to lay the groundwork for a brighter future through workforce, education and mental health programming.

RECURRING GIFTS allow us to continue providing support where it's needed most. Help ensure The Village Institute is HERE TO STAY so we can keep investing in newcomer families and all they bring to our community.
