From entry to integration, ELOI Ministries walks with asylum seekers as they find a new place to call home.
At ELOI Ministries, we believe in providing compassionate support to individuals and families seeking asylum. Our dedicated team works to ensure asylum seekers receive the assistance they need while navigating their new circumstances.
Our comprehensive approach focuses on both immediate needs and long-term stability. We connect asylum seekers with legal professionals, provide access to essential resources, and offer programs that help build independence and community connections.
When asylum seekers first arrive, they often face urgent challenges. Our emergency response team provides immediate assistance with temporary housing, food security, and essential supplies. We understand the trauma and uncertainty many face upon arrival, so we also offer crisis counseling and emergency medical referrals. Our 24-hour helpline ensures that help is always available when needed most.
Navigating the asylum process can be overwhelming. We partner with experienced immigration attorneys who provide pro bono consultations and legal representation. Our case managers help with paperwork, documentation, and understanding legal rights. We assist in obtaining necessary identification documents, work permits, and accessing public services. Our team also provides translation services for legal appointments and official proceedings.
Long-term stability is crucial for successful integration. Through our skills development program, we offer English language classes, computer literacy training, and job readiness workshops. We connect asylum seekers with vocational training opportunities and potential employers through our network of community partners. Our financial literacy program helps individuals understand banking, budgeting, and building credit in their new country.
We believe that connection is essential for healing and growth. Our community integration program pairs asylum seekers with local mentors who provide friendship and cultural orientation. We organize regular social events, cultural exchanges, and support groups where individuals can build relationships and share experiences. Our mental health professionals provide ongoing counseling and trauma-informed care to support emotional well-being throughout the transition process.
It’s very important to have legal advice and representation while in the process of asylum as any minor mistake can be a basis of denial of your claim. So, we work with different partners to provide the legal assistance required and necessary for the process.
Would you like be part of this initiative?
To be released from the detention center under any circumstances, one must have someone responsible for receiving them. This can be a family member or someone else who may decide to just sponsor you. ICE requires such a recipient of a detainee to file some papers with them before a detainee is released. Would you be interested in sponsoring an asylum seekers to save their lives?
While in detention centers, an individual need support to be able to communicate with either family or attorney and communication systems are not free in these facilities even though most detainees do not work and hardly have any money to facilitate this much needed communication for both legal and psycho-social support.
So, detainees need support with little upkeep/ pocket money to be used for that purpose or even buying some supplementary food.
Contribute to make this possible.
You may host an immigrant who has been released from Detention or whose time of living at the immigrant shelter is expired. This involves feeding them and sharing or giving them shelter among other things.
As anyone new in any community, these new Americans need to be treated with dignity and kindness to enable them to heal from the detention trauma and effects thus our humble appeal for support to make this a reality. Contact us now to help a person in need.
