How can I help?

Become a Host: Consider opening up your home and hosting an individual or family in need. Contact the Brazilian Worker Center if interested in hosting.

Rent to immigrants: The City of Boston's Landlord Incentive Program supports landlords who rent to Boston households moving out of homelessness. The City provides signing bonuses, pays broker fees, pays cleaning fees, gives unit retention bonuses, and provides direct access to dedicated support for both the tenant AND the landlord. Find out more information here.

Support Local Pro-Immigrant Organizations: Make a purchase or organize a gift drive to purchase and donate items for newly arrived families.

• MIRA would love to share information about organizations who are taking donations for new arrivals. If you know any organizations who are supporting new arrivals, please fill out this form to share initiatives with MIRA.
