Help PS 15 Immigrant Families Find Homes

Support Immigrant Families at PS 15, Red Hook, Brooklyn

PS 15 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, has been fortunate to welcome around 20 courageous immigrant families, whose children have quickly become an integral part of our school community. These families are staying in a nearby quasi-private shelter for newcomer families.

They came to this country desperately looking for better conditions for their children. Many of them traveled for months with small children in terrifyingly difficult conditions.

We have recently learned they are being pushed out of the shelter. Because the shelter is not city-owned, it is not protected by NYC’s sanctuary city status. This means the impending transition to the Trump administration poses an even greater threat to their security. Though they are working, it is a significant challenge finding accessible, affordable, stable housing.

Our school community is coming together to help these families transition to more permanent housing as swiftly as possible.

We are launching a collective fund to support PS 15 families in urgent need. All contributions will be distributed equitably to ensure they have the stability they deserve.

Please join us in standing with these families during this critical time. Every donation makes a difference.
