Sponsorship for Release from Detention & Community Resettlement Groups
We are the only organization in the Gulf South connecting newly arriving immigrants without sponsors to cultivated communities of support for release from detention and long-term resettlement relationship.
Detention Visitation
We mobilize a trained visitation network in support of people organizing on the inside of detention facilities in Louisiana.
Resource Hub
We build a culture of partnership and shared learning and resources within a broad local, regional, and national network. As part of our “connective tissue” role, this includes facilitating communities of practice with LGBTQ+ immigrants and others and offering a free Community Center space to grassroots partners for safety, healing, and power-building.
Legal Aid Capacity-Building
We organize capacity for legal aid through pro bono recruitment, training, and placement with asylum-seekers for representation.
Housing Capacity-Building
We develop networks that offer free and low-cost/immigrant accessible individual and group housing units, rental assistance, and transitional hosting.
