A Community Approach to Immigration: The Rights & Responsibilities of Owners/agents, Residents, & Frontline Staff in Senior Housing

March 17 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

This webinar is complimentary, but registration is required. Register here. 

With rapid changes in federal housing and immigration policies, understanding your legal rights and responsibilities is crucial. Presented by the American Friends Service Committee, this training focuses on best practices for navigating sensitive immigration & customs encounters. We want to ensure our member communities are informed and prepared. At the conclusion of their presentation, you will have the opportunity to raise questions.

Note: The AFSC is not an expert in senior affordable housing or fair housing;  they are primarily focused on immigration rights and human rights.
