New York City serves as a beacon of hope for many immigrants, yet undocumented individuals face unique challenges. Their daily lives are marked by fear of deportation, economic instability, and limited access to healthcare. Despite these hurdles, community organizations provide vital support, fostering resilience and a sense of belonging among those navigating this complex landscape.

New York City faces a complex migrant crisis, with over 218,000 arrivals, largely asylum seekers from countries like Venezuela. As resources are stretched, debates around support systems and neighborhood impacts continue. Despite being a sanctuary city, NYC grapples with challenges in providing housing, employment, and healthcare to thousands of newcomers.
