COLUMBUS — The Trump Administration’s control of the White House and other branches of government has left many immigrants in limbo, waiting to see how policy changes affect their futures. After being targeted during the presidential election, thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Columbus and other Central Ohio areas are feeling particularly vulnerable. To provide support, many local organizations are collaborating closely to connect people with education, health, legal and housing resources and other essential services.
Here is a list of resources available in Springfield and Columbus in particular, as of late January 2025. Some of the larger groups have collaborations around the country that may provide additional connections.
