Support for Undocumented &
Out-of-Status Individuals

WestConnect provides confidential, non-judgmental support for people who are undocumented, out of status, or unsure of their current immigration position. Many individuals become undocumented due to expired visas, lost employment permits, family breakdown, misunderstanding of paperwork or fear of approaching authorities.

We offer a safe, friendly space to help you understand your situation, gather your
information, and identify possible pathways and supports.
