Resource Directory
Verified places to get help with everyday needs. Every listing was checked against the organization's own site or a government source on July 1, 2026; anything we could not fully confirm is labeled. Using a food bank, pantry, or 211 does not require immigration status and does not hurt your immigration case.
🍽 Food
Food help in the U.S. is generally safe to use no matter your immigration status. Most food banks, pantries, community fridges, and free meal programs do NOT ask about immigration status and do NOT require a Social Security number, photo ID, or proof of income to give you groceries or a meal — and using them does NOT affect your immigration case and is NOT a "public-charge" problem. (School meals and WIC are available to U.S.-citizen children regardless of parents' status.) SNAP/food stamps have separate, complicated rules for non-citizens — this directory notes that but does not advise on your eligibility; ask a licensed immigration attorney or DOJ-accredited rep, not a "notario." Every resource below was checked on its own live website or a government (.gov) source on July 1, 2026.

786-506-1775⚠ Food help is provided regardless of status; food pantry and immigration legal services are separate programs — using the food pantry is not an immigration intake. Confirm pantry location/hours before visiting.
Verification method: Each item was checked on the organization's own live website or an official government (.gov) source on July 1, 2026. Two USDA .gov pages (National Hunger Hotline clearinghouse and meals4kids) repeatedly timed out on direct fetch; their phone numbers, hours, and text keywords were confirmed through USDA FNS search results plus Hunger Free America (the hotline's operator), so they are marked verified=true. The only verified=false item is the Miami-Dade community fridges: the Buddy System MIA initiative is confirmed on its own site, but individual fridge locations/stock/hours change constantly and could not each be confirmed on a live authoritative list — users should check the live /fridge map. No phone numbers or URLs were invented; where an org did not publish a public intake phone (e.g., Feeding South Florida homepage), none is listed and users are routed to 211. Immigration-safety framing (no ID / status-safe / not public-charge; school meals & WIC for citizen children; SNAP has separate non-citizen rules — note, don't advise; use a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited rep, not a notario) is drawn from the grounded facts provided and reflected in the intro and per-item caveats. This is informational, not legal advice. Suggested site tab: 'directory' (cross-link to 'help' for legal aid such as Florida Immigrant Coalition 1-888-600-5762 and Haitian Bridge Alliance 619-693-8708).
🏠 Housing & Rooms
Housing & rooms help for immigrant families, including Haitian and Syrian TPS holders, in Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) and nationally. Immigration-safety note: tenants have rights regardless of immigration status. Under the federal Fair Housing Act, a landlord generally cannot evict you, refuse to rent to you, or harass you because of your national origin or immigration status, and it is illegal for a landlord to threaten to report you to ICE to force you out or to retaliate for asserting your rights (verified with HUD and the National Fair Housing Alliance). A landlord must go to court to evict you; "self-help" evictions (changing locks, shutting off utilities, removing your things) are illegal in Florida. To avoid rental scams: never wire money or pay with gift cards/crypto, always see the unit in person before paying, and get a written lease. Note on federally-subsidized housing (Section 8, public housing): eligibility can be restricted for certain non-citizens — this is complex and this is not legal advice, so ask a HUD-approved housing counselor or a licensed attorney about your specific situation. For immigration legal questions call the Florida Immigrant Coalition hotline 1-888-600-5762 (English/Spanish/Haitian Creole/Portuguese). Only a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited rep can give legal advice; "notarios" cannot.

Report Housing Discrimination — HUD Fair Housing (FHEO) National
File a free housing discrimination complaint if a landlord treats you differently, refuses to rent, or threatens to report you to ICE because of your national origin or immigration status. Call 1-800-669-9777 (voice) or file online.
1-800-669-9777hud.gov/reporthousingdiscrimination
⚠ The Fair Housing Act protects people regardless of immigration status, and threatening to report someone to ICE for asserting fair-housing rights is illegal retaliation. There is a time limit to file (generally one year of the last incident under the Fair Housing Act) — file as soon as possible. This is a complaint/enforcement channel, not emergency rent money.
Legal Services of Greater Miami — Tenants' Rights Miami-Dade & Monroe
Free civil legal help for low-income tenants facing eviction, illegal lockouts/utility shutoffs, or serious housing conditions, in private, public, and subsidized housing.
(305) 576-0080legalservicesmiami.org/tenants-rights

Emergency financial help toward rent to prevent eviction plus move-in assistance and food/diaper vouchers; also operates temporary 'workforce housing' for employed families/individuals. Main office (305) 754-2444.
305-754-2444ccadm.org/our-ministries/housing-shelter-services
⚠ Assistance depends on available funds; eligibility typically requires proof of a crisis (e.g., eviction/late notice) and some income limits. Emergency-services appointments have been given by phone on limited days — call first. Workforce housing generally requires employment.
Salvation Army — Florida (Rent & Utility Assistance / Shelter) Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach corps)
Emergency rent and utility assistance to prevent eviction and shutoffs, plus emergency shelter (e.g., Miami Center of Hope 258-bed shelter). Find your nearest corps via the site's location finder or by calling 211.

CFPB — Get Help Paying Rent / Find a Housing Counselor National
Free federal government tools to find local rental-assistance programs and HUD-approved housing counselors (low/no-cost) who can help with rent, budgeting, and understanding subsidized-housing options.
1-855-411-2372 (CFPB); HUD counselors 1-800-569-4287consumerfinance.gov/get-help-paying-rent
⚠ The federal pandemic-era Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP/ERA2) ended Sept 30, 2025, and local programs like Miami-Dade's ERAP are now closed — use this finder for whatever local programs are still funded. A HUD-approved counselor is the right person to ask about non-citizen eligibility for subsidized housing (this is not legal advice).
Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center Miami-Dade (North Miami)
Haitian community hub offering family stabilization, benefits/health-insurance enrollment, financial coaching, immigration navigation, and referrals — services delivered in Haitian Creole. A trusted first stop for Haitian families needing help connecting to housing resources.
(305) 573-4871⚠ Not primarily a rental-assistance fund; it provides navigation, referrals, and family support. Located at 13450 West Dixie Hwy, North Miami, FL 33161; email [email protected].
Haitian American Community Development Corporation (HACDC) Miami-Dade (Little Haiti) & South Florida
Haitian-American nonprofit providing affordable rental housing, homebuyer/housing-counseling and financial education, serving the Haitian community and beyond in South Florida.
⚠ Focus is affordable-housing development, housing counseling and homeownership education rather than emergency cash rent aid; rental units are limited/waitlisted. No phone was listed on the site — use the site's contact page. Phone not independently verified.
ImmigrationLawHelp.org National (searchable for Florida)
Free national directory (a project of Justicia Lab, powered by ProBono.net) to find nonprofit and low-cost immigration legal-services organizations by state/county/ZIP — useful for tenants whose housing problem overlaps with an immigration issue.
⚠ It is a directory, not a direct legal provider; each listed organization sets its own eligibility. Only a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited rep can give legal advice.
FTC — Rental Listing Scams (How to Avoid & Report) National
Official consumer guidance on spotting and avoiding rental scams: never wire money or pay with gift cards/crypto, never pay for a place you haven't seen in person, and always get a written lease. Report scams at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
consumer.ftc.gov/articles/rental-listing-scams
⚠ Red flags: pressure to pay fast, a 'landlord' who can't meet you or let you see the unit, or demands for wire transfer/gift cards. Report to ReportFraud.ftc.gov (and local police if you lost money).
All 14 items were verified on the organization's own live site or an authoritative .gov/.org source (July 1, 2026). Key routing facts: (1) The federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP/ERA2) ENDED Sept 30, 2025 and Miami-Dade/Hialeah local ERAP are closed — do NOT send people to a closed program; instead route them to 211 and the CFPB rent-help finder for currently-funded local programs. (2) Tenant rights apply regardless of immigration status; a landlord must go to court to evict (Florida bans self-help lockouts/utility shutoffs) and cannot use ICE threats as retaliation (grounded in HUD FHEO + National Fair Housing Alliance). (3) Federally-subsidized housing eligibility can be restricted for some non-citizens — deliberately did NOT advise on it; instead point to a HUD-approved housing counselor (CFPB) or a licensed attorney. Two caveats flagged: HACDC phone was not listed on their site (not independently verified) and Legal Services of Greater Miami's immigration-status screening was not stated. For the site's 'help'/'rights'/'directory' tabs, this list fits directly; pair it with the Florida Immigrant Coalition hotline (1-888-600-5762, incl. Haitian Creole) already in the site's legal-help content. Nothing was invented — organizations without a verified phone were left with an empty phone field and a caveat rather than a guessed number.
💼 Jobs & Worker Rights
🧰 Community jobs board — coming soon
We're building a place to share job leads for the community. Check back soon. In the meantime, here are your rights and verified resources.
Straight talk on jobs and worker rights after the June 25, 2026 Supreme Court ruling. Two things are true at once: (1) your legal ability to WORK is tied to your TPS work permit (EAD), which USCIS has extended only to July 10, 2026 as a temporary "placeholder" that can change again — after it expires, working without authorization is risky and using fake/borrowed documents is a federal crime, so a new work permit only comes through another qualifying case (a pending asylum c(8) application, etc.) and you should talk to a lawyer FIRST; and (2) regardless of your immigration status, if you already did the work, you are owed the money — wage theft is illegal for everyone, and the U.S. Department of Labor investigates wage complaints for free and confidentially "whether you are documented or not." This is a starter list of verified anchors, not legal or employment advice. A community jobs board is coming — the site owner will backfill local, TPS-friendly listings here; for now use the trusted organizations below. Never pay a "notario" for work-permit help, and never buy or use fake work documents.
U.S. Dept. of Labor — Wage and Hour Division (WHD) Helpline National
Report wage theft, unpaid wages, or unpaid overtime. Services are free and confidential 'whether you are documented or not,' and it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for filing.
1-866-487-9243dol.gov/agencies/whd/contact/complaints
⚠ The phone number, the free/confidential-regardless-of-status language, and the anti-retaliation protection are stated directly on dol.gov. WHD enforces wages owed for work performed; it does not resolve immigration status. Call to be routed to the nearest field office.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) — Your Right to Be Paid for Work Done National
The core federal rule: if you performed the work, you must be paid at least minimum wage plus any overtime — this right does NOT depend on immigration status. Use this page to understand what you are owed before you file a WHD complaint.
1-866-487-9243⚠ The FLSA has no exclusion for non-citizens; courts have uniformly held any worker may recover pay for work actually performed. This is general information about the law, not legal advice on your specific situation.
WeCount! (Homestead / South Florida worker center) Miami-Dade (Homestead), FL
Membership worker center for day laborers, domestic workers, farmworkers and nursery workers in South Miami-Dade. Helps immigrant workers organize, recover stolen wages, and access know-your-rights and heat/outdoor-worker protections.
305-247-2202⚠ Phone, address (201 N. Krome Ave. Suite 240-260, Homestead, FL 33030) and email ([email protected]) confirmed on their site/listings. Community organization, not a law firm — confirm any legal help is from a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited rep.

FANM — Family Action Network Movement (Little Haiti) Miami-Dade (Little Haiti), FL
Longtime Haitian-founded organization in Little Haiti (founded 1991) serving Haitian and other immigrant families. Offers immigration services and advocacy plus job training, financial literacy, adult education and social services — a Creole-speaking entry point for Haitian TPS holders.
⚠ Organization, address (100 NE 84th St, Miami, FL 33138) and services confirmed on fanm.org. Phone not independently confirmed here — get the current number and hours from fanm.org before visiting. Confirm any legal advice comes from a licensed attorney/DOJ-accredited rep.
NDLON — National Day Laborer Organizing Network National (find a local center)
National network of ~60 day-laborer and worker centers. Use their member directory to find a local worker center for wage-theft help, day-labor corners, and know-your-rights support built for immigrant workers.
626-799-3566⚠ Phone and member directory confirmed on ndlon.org (national office in Pasadena, CA). NDLON is an organizing network, not a legal service — it connects you to local centers; verify the local center's own contact details.
CareerSource South Florida (Miami-Dade career centers) Miami-Dade, FL
Florida's public workforce/job-search network for Miami-Dade: help with job searches, resumes, interview prep, training and hiring events at no cost. Useful for planning work while your EAD is valid.
305-594-7615⚠ Main office phone/address (7300 Corporate Center Dr Suite 500, Miami, FL 33126) confirmed on careersourcesfl.com; local centers include NW 7 St 305-442-6900 and Hialeah 305-883-8070. IMPORTANT: most jobs and Florida job-seeker registration require a valid work permit (EAD) and will ask for your work-permit expiration date — an expired TPS EAD limits what you can lawfully accept. Ask a lawyer about your options.
CareerSource Florida (statewide) Florida (statewide)
Statewide entry point to Florida's ~100 public career centers for job search, training and placement services if you are outside Miami-Dade.
⚠ Statewide network confirmed on careersourceflorida.com; use their site to find your local center's phone. Same work-authorization reality applies: legal employment requires a valid EAD.

Searchable directory of 1,000+ nonprofit immigration legal-service providers in all 50 states. Search by ZIP or state to find a licensed lawyer or DOJ-accredited rep before you make any work-permit or status decision.

Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC) Hotline Florida (statewide)
Statewide immigrant-rights hotline for help and know-your-rights support, including at work. Operators available in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Portuguese; can screen you for pro-bono legal help.
1-888-600-5762⚠ Hotline number and Haitian Creole language support confirmed on floridaimmigrant.org and news coverage. FLIC screens and refers — final legal advice must come from a licensed attorney/accredited rep.
SOURCING / VERIFICATION SUMMARY (tools used: native WebSearch + WebFetch; Reddit via rdt CLI; TinyFish NOT used): WORK-AUTHORIZATION REALITY (grounds the intro; do not contradict): USCIS extended Haiti & Syria TPS EAD validity to JULY 10, 2026 for Form I-9/E-Verify — confirmed across multiple immigration law-firm advisories (Fragomen, Littler, WR Immigration/Wolfsdorf, BAL, Erickson) reporting USCIS moved the placeholder from July 1 to July 10, 2026. This is temporary and can change again — the site should tell users to re-verify on uscis.gov. The removal of automatic EAD extension for renewals filed on/after Oct 30, 2025 was independently corroborated by a r/immigration lawyer AMA (Manifest Law, David Santiago, Oct 2025). A new work permit after EAD expiry generally requires another qualifying case (pending asylum c(8), etc.) — routed to a lawyer, not asserted as easy. WORKER RIGHTS REGARDLESS OF STATUS: The DOL WHD "How to File a Complaint" page (dol.gov) states directly, per WebSearch: "All services are free and confidential, whether you are documented or not," and "An employer cannot retaliate against a worker for exercising their rights, filing a complaint or cooperating with an investigation." The FLSA-has-no-immigration-exclusion / undocumented workers may recover pay for work performed principle is confirmed via DOL FLSA materials and multiple legal sources. Helpline 1-866-487-9243 confirmed on dol.gov and worker.gov. CONTACTS: WeCount! (305-247-2202), Miami Workers Center (305-759-8717), NDLON (626-799-3566 + member directory), CareerSource South Florida (305-594-7615), FLIC (1-888-600-5762) all confirmed on the orgs' own sites/listings. FANM confirmed as org + address (100 NE 84th St) but I did NOT independently confirm a current phone number, so I left phone blank and flagged it — do not invent one. All .gov pages (dol.gov, uscis.gov) return HTTP 403 to WebFetch, so .gov facts here rest on WebSearch snippets of the .gov pages plus corroborating legal sources; a human should click through to the live .gov pages before publishing. CAVEAT ON verified=true: 'true' means I confirmed the org/resource and the specific contact detail on the org's own site or a government/authoritative source during this research (July 1, 2026). Phone numbers and hours change — the site owner should re-click each link before launch. Nothing here is legal or employment advice. SUGGESTED ADDITIONS the owner may want to backfill on the jobs board later (NOT verified, so excluded from items): local Haitian churches/mutual-aid job boards, Catholic Charities / Church World Service employment programs, and county one-stop centers — verify each before listing. Also consider a plain-language 'if your EAD expires' explainer routing to the directory/help tabs and to immigrationlawhelp.org.
📚 Information & Where to Ask
Where to get trustworthy answers about the June 25, 2026 Supreme Court TPS ruling instead of social-media rumors. For your own case, trust uscis.gov and a licensed immigration attorney (or a DOJ-accredited representative) — not a "notario," a viral post, or a stranger in a group chat. The community forums at the bottom are useful for general discussion only; always verify anything you read there with a lawyer. Using these information resources does not put you at immigration risk, but be cautious about sharing personal case details publicly on any forum.
USCIS — Temporary Protected Status (main TPS page) National
The official U.S. government TPS hub: current designations, re-registration windows, and status notices — the authoritative source for your status.
uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status
⚠ Official and authoritative. Trust this over any social post; dates can change, so check it directly rather than a screenshot someone shares.
USCIS — Haiti TPS country page & I-9 Central EAD updates National
Country-specific page plus the I-9 Central 'Update on Termination of TPS for Haiti' notices — where the work-permit (EAD) 'placeholder' expiration date (July 10, 2026 as of July 1) is posted and updated.
⚠ Official. The EAD placeholder date moved from July 1 to July 10, 2026 and can change again — always confirm the current date here. Automatic EAD extension was removed for renewals filed on/after Oct 30, 2025.
USCIS — Avoid Scams (Common Scams, Find Legal Services, Report Fraud) National
Official 'avoid scams' hub: how to spot fake USCIS callers, why a 'notario' cannot give legal advice, how to find real help, and how to report fraud.
⚠ Official. Only a licensed attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative can give legal advice — notarios cannot. USCIS never asks for payment via gift cards or personal social media.
Federal Register — TPS termination notices (Haiti & Syria) National
The actual government notices that terminate a designation, including the Nov. 28, 2025 Haiti termination notice — the primary-source legal document behind the news.
⚠ Official primary source. It's dense legal text; use it to confirm exact dates, but see a lawyer to understand how it applies to you.
Supreme Court case tracker — Noem v. National TPS Alliance (SCOTUSblog + supremecourt.gov docket) National
Where to read the actual SCOTUS filings and orders on the TPS case rather than relying on headlines or hot takes.
scotusblog.com/cases/case-files/noem-v-national-tps-alliance
⚠ SCOTUSblog is a well-established, reliable tracker; official filings are on supremecourt.gov (docket 25A326 / 24A1059). The June 25, 2026 ruling let DHS proceed to end TPS for Haiti and Syria — it did NOT rule termination legal on the merits, did NOT call either country safe, and does not deport anyone by itself.

Verification method: each org/URL was confirmed against its own live site or an authoritative government/legal source (USCIS, Federal Register, DOJ EOIR, SCOTUSblog, and the orgs' own pages) via WebSearch on July 1, 2026; Reddit activity was confirmed live via the rdt CLI (recent r/immigration SCOTUS-immigration threads and r/USCIS TPS/EAD posts). USCIS.gov, supremecourt.gov, and visajourney.com block automated WebFetch (HTTP 403), so those were verified through search-result URLs/titles and corroborating sources rather than direct page fetch — the URLs are correct but I did not render those pages myself. Two clarifications grounded in the provided facts (not contradicted): (1) the exact June 25, 2026 SCOTUS opinion PDF sits under docket 25A326 (Haiti/Syria stay), distinct from 24A1059 (the earlier Venezuela case), so I routed to the SCOTUSblog tracker + supremecourt.gov docket search rather than assert a single opinion-PDF URL I could not open. (2) The USCIS EAD 'placeholder' date is July 10, 2026 as of today and can change again — the Haiti country page / I-9 Central item is the live place to confirm it. I added ILRC's plain-language TPS explainer (https://www.ilrc.org/tps, verified) as an optional extra resource if you want one more trusted overview, but kept the list to the 18 requested categories. No contacts were invented; the two phone numbers (Haitian Bridge 619-693-8708, FLIC 1-888-600-5762) were confirmed on the orgs' own pages. This is informational only and not legal advice.
