HSC Members and Supporters –
With the news this week that ICE attempted to gain entry to one of our member’s homeless shelters , we wanted to share a set of resources from New York Lawyers for the Public Interest for nonprofits to ensure you are well equipped to handle interactions with ICE.

We understand the importance of having staff feel prepared if ICE shows up, as well as letting the people you serve know that your organization is a safe space for them.
Please share these resources, which are not specific to nonprofits – individuals and other community institutions should also know how to handle ICE interactions.

It is clear that the people our organizations serve are facing increasing and alarming threats – we applaud WIN for using their position in the City to protect their residents. New York nonprofits have an opportunity to act as a safeguard and advocate for all communities against these dangers – and we know the human services sector is up to the challenge.
Thank you for all your work to improve the lives of all New Yorkers.

Sincerely,
Allison Sesso
Executive Director
