Essential Support

ERICA is committed to personalized assistance, carefully tailored to the needs and goals of each participant. Some examples of help can include:

• Emergency and transitional financial assistance for needs such as rent, utilities, medical bills, transportation, clothing and food
• Access to legal assistance and physical and mental health services
• Support for individuals and families as they settle into the community and navigate complex issues involving employment, living arrangements, schooling and the immigration journey
• In cooperation with the Reservoir Hill House of Peace, ERICA now has an English program for women who cannot read or write in their home languages.  The twice-per-week class is now full, and we hope to expand enrollment in the spring of 2026.

ERICA offers this support in partnership with its participants through close and patient listening to help establish the foundation for a promising future.
