We equip our community with the tools and information needed to thrive in the face of adversity, including “Know Your Rights” trainings and direct outreach.
Outreach and Training
We host “Know Your Rights” workshops and provide information and education to arm our community with critical knowledge and resources in the event they are confronted by law enforcement or immigration officials.
We also employ a team of Community Navigators to reach our community during critical times like the Census count and elections to share important information, encourage greater civic participation, and amplify our community’s voices.
We provide free assistance with applications for public benefits like food assistance (LINK card), Medicaid, and other programs.
If you need assistance, please contact us at (708) 613-0639.
Note: due to COVID-19 this assistance is being provided entirely remotely until further notice.
DCFS Case Support and General Case Management
Our Proyecto Cuídate team advocates for families and foster care alumni as they work with the Department of Children and Family Services. We also coordinate services provided for families by offering referrals such as family law supports, connections with immigration representation for survivors of violence, and/or linking clients with agencies (including in-Erie House services) to best support their needs.
