Resources for Haitian New Yorkers: MOIA Haitian Response Initiative

HRI consists of a partnership between the NYC Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA), eight Haitian-serving nonprofits listed below, and CUNY Brooklyn College’s Haitian Studies Institute.

Through this partnership, community members receive linguistically and culturally responsive services including:

Case management and social services, directly and through referrals.
Immigration legal assistance such as eligibility screenings, legal consultations, application assistance, removal defense, and self-help information.

Community members may access services and support by contacting the below organizations directly or calling NYC’s Immigration Legal Hotline at 1 (800) 354-0365, Monday to Friday from 9AM-6PM. Haitian Creole-speaking phone operators are available.
