Haitian Families

Little Haiti Global supports Haitian families with a structured first year that includes safe housing, basic health insurance, education support like ESOL, optional local language instruction, and access to mentoring and well-being resources. The goal is a stable transition where families can rebuild routines and thrive in a Haitian-rooted community.

Why a structured first year matters for families

Families need consistency to thrive. When housing and healthcare are uncertain, stress rises and school routines become harder. A structured plan helps parents focus on parenting, work, and long-term goals.

The four pillars that support Haitian families

Housing that supports routines

Participants receive one year of housing with electricity and running water. Stable housing supports sleep, school preparation, and daily rhythm for children and caregivers.

Education and language learning

Participants receive free English language classes if needed, with required ESOL for those who need it. Optional local language instruction may be available. English-proficient participants may complete up to six months of online vocational or trade-based training.

Healthcare and basic coverage

Families receive one year of basic health insurance excluding dental. Support is provided to help navigate care. Optional extended plans may be available for purchase.

Well-being and community support

Counseling, trauma support, mentoring, and peer mentorship are available to those who choose to engage. Community belonging helps families feel safe and reduces isolation.
