The Department of Neighborhoods Mayor’s Office of New Americans and Immigrant  Communities (ONAIC) is here to offer special support to our immigrant community. We realize the unique challenges that this community faces in the wake of disasters.  

The Houston Immigration Legal Services Collaborative (HILSC) has updated its Disaster FAQ to reflect current conditions following Tropical Storm Imelda: bit.ly/ImeldaImmi

While some of the resources listed are restricted to individuals or households with lawful immigration status, many services are available to all impacted Houstonians.  This guide is designed to help you better understand the disaster assistance services for which you or those around you may be eligible and how to access these services.
