OUR MISSION
CRCKY offers wraparound care to immigrants in Kentucky as they work their way through the complex, non-intuitive, and bureaucratic US immigration system. Support services include, but are not limited to, legal assistance to stabilize immigration status, food, clothing, access to medical and mental health treatment, access to furniture and household goods, and transportation access. CRCKY strives to keep track of evolving client needs and is committed to providing new forms of assistance in response to growing community needs. Whenever possible, direct assistance is provided to clients, and when that is not possible, clients are referred to other agencies which can assist them.
CRCKY also conducts educational activities, sharing factual information to clients and to the general public about local resources and US immigration. Our multilingual website offers clients a free, frequently updated resource center. Immigration related workshops and presentations are available to community members upon request.
NEWSFLASH
HEALTH INSURANCE
If you are an asylum seeker, filing for TPS, or on Humanitarian Parole you may in some cases qualify for free health insurance through Medicaid, and food assistance through a program called SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.). Receiving help from these programs will NOT affect your real status and asylum/TPS application. For more information, click here. (Multilingual support is available.)
