Opportunity: Help Shape a New Food Security Initiative

The American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) is looking for non-profit contributors to an advisory board on a new project. The project is focused on language access as relates to food security. Food banks and other PIF members engaged in case management, community outreach, advocacy, research, and other activities related to safety net food programs are encouraged to consider this opportunity.

 

APHSA estimates asking participants to join 2 or 3 90-minute sessions between now and November. If you have other questions, please contact Alexandra Ramos at APHSA ([email protected]), or you can use the button below to sign up.

New Research: Economic Profile of Long Island Immigrants

PIF partner Immigration Research Initiative recently released an analysis of the economic lives of Long Island (New York) immigrants. IRI found that immigrants account for ⅕ of Long Island’s economic productivity and work in jobs across the income spectrum, and that race and gender matter at least as much as immigration status in shaping a Long Islander’s economic situation. Use the button below to learn more.

Resources: Help Thaw the Chilling Effect in Your Community

A reminder that, more than six months after the Biden public charge regulation took effect, partners still report information gaps among immigrant families. You can help to thaw the public charge “chilling effect” by sharing accurate information with the families you serve. Our community resources on public charge can help, with accessible, accurate information available in nine languages commonly spoken by folks in immigrant families.

Housing: Understanding the Impact of Eviction

Princeton University’s Eviction Lab research center has launched a long-term project to understand how evictions impact the immigrant community. They are looking for people – especially people who speak Spanish and are undocumented – to share their experiences of forced displacement and evictions. People can learn more or get involved through the initiative’s website (below) or through WhatsApp (+1-971-401-2210). For more information you can contact Juan Pablo Garnham at [email protected].
