ProtectingImmigrants.org was originally created as a public resource to help immigrant communities in New York stay informed, stay safe, and stay protected from scams, fraud, and misinformation. Today, we continue that mission by providing educational resources not only for immigrant families, but for all communities seeking trusted information on social support programs, financial guidance, and legal protections.
Over the years, immigrants have faced many challenges — from immigration scams and housing fraud to difficulties accessing public assistance. Our platform strives to bridge that gap by offering reliable news updates, fraud alerts, financial assistance information, and helpful tools in one place.
In addition to our ongoing support for immigrant rights, our site now includes a dedicated section on finance, helping people understand government benefits like Social Security, SSI, tax credits, and stimulus updates — especially those that impact immigrant and low-income households.
Whether you’re looking for:
- Legal support resources
- Community safety tools
- News on public programs
- Financial relief updates
We aim to be a trustworthy, ad-free, and accessible source for you and your family.
