About Us

A Home Away From Home

Founded in 2010, NewHorizon began as a small volunteer-run legal aid clinic. Today, we are a full-service immigrant and refugee resettlement organization serving thousands of families each year.

Our multilingual team understands the challenges of starting over in a new country because many of us have lived that journey. We believe every person deserves dignity, safety, and the opportunity to build a meaningful life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need legal status to receive help?

No. Our services are available to everyone regardless of immigration status. All interactions are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege where applicable.

What documents should I bring to my first visit?

Any identification you have (passport, ID card, birth certificate), immigration documents, court notices, and any letters from USCIS or ICE. If you don't have documents, we can still help.

Are services available in my language?

We provide services in over 45 languages through staff interpreters and certified translation services. Call our helpline and we will connect you with someone who speaks your language.

How much do your services cost?

Most of our services are free of charge. Legal representation is offered on a sliding scale based on income. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.

Can you help if I received a deportation notice?
