Basic Needs Assistance for Immigrant Families The Liaison has developed a trusting relationship with the Latino population as well as with area service providers. This trust, combined with the continuity and quality of our services, leads Latinos to seek our help with a variety of concerns. Our staff and volunteers provide one-on-one assistance, problem solving, advocacy, referrals, interpreting, and information to clients in our office, at home visits, or over the telephone.
Below are some of the main issues we address: Consumer Issues - Consumer protection, contacting local utility companies, contacting tax offices, and helping clients understand bills and official correspondence.
Health Care - Referrals to the health department or local clinics, contacting doctors, arranging hospital payment plans, and providing health information in Spanish.
Children's Issues - Filling out Medicaid applications, requesting birth certificates, referrals to child care services, pre-school programs, and summer camps. Advocacy for disabled children.
Housing Concerns - Communication with landlords and/or town housing inspectors, information on rentals, and tenant's rights and obligations.
Emergency Assistance - Connecting families in crisis with area services that provide food, clothing and shelter, interpreting when needed.
