Immigration enforcement efforts have intensified under recent federal policy changes, raising concerns among immigrant families seeking care and the providers who serve them. In addition, many families now face additional barriers to accessing healthcare, food benefits, housing assistance, and other essential services due to confusion about eligibility, fear of jeopardizing immigration status, or lack of clear information. These challenges highlight the importance of equipping providers with trusted resources and guidance to help immigrant families navigate systems safely and confidently.
