Standing with Our Haitian Community During a Time of Uncertainty
July 2, 2026

The New American Association of Massachusetts (NAAM) stands with its Haitian community as families face uncertainty following the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. As the largest population NAAM serves, Haitian individuals and families remain at the heart of our work, and we are committed to responding thoughtfully and compassionately through our legal, wellness, employment, youth, and food assistance programs as needs emerge. We invite our partners and neighbors to stand alongside Haitian families during this time and support their resilience, leadership, and lasting contributions to our communities.
