We’re here when it matters most

Crisis often goes unseen in our community, because of the assumption that Indian immigrant families are always affluent, well educated and supported by strong family ties. In reality, many people face their most vulnerable moments alone.

One crisis can lead to another: trauma, financial hardship, immigration worries and trouble meeting basic needs. Our team has long been there for the community, often first on the scene, so that every person feels safe, respected and supported.

We can help with

Health emergencies Mental health struggles Domestic violence Loss of employment Immigration challenges Death of a loved one Housing and rent Food insecurity

I thought I had lost it all when I reached out to IACS for rent assistance. But not only did I get rent assistance, I also ended up getting additional support to find a job. I am so thankful.
