If you are an asylum seeker who has just arrived in New York City, you can get free and confidential help at the Asylum Seeker Resource Navigation Center. You will need to schedule an appointment through NYC shelter staff or a community-based partner office.

The Center will connect you with services and resources, including but not limited to:

• Health insurance enrollment
• Healthcare services and appointments
• Mental health counseling
• School enrollment
• Child services
• Immigration legal services
• IDNYC (Municipal Identification) enrollment

You can get some basic services at the Center. The Center can also connect you with providers and community-based organizations throughout the five boroughs of New York City, including Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers (HERRCs).
