Brooklyn Center to Help Haitians Apply for Temp Protective Status

Haitian immigrants and worried Haitian-Americans can get help at a new service center opening Monday in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

The Family Resource Center will help immigrants apply for temporary protective status to let them stay in the U.S., and offer legal help and mental health counseling to families here.

"We are bringing all of those resources together - a one-stop shop, if you will," Gov. Paterson said. "This will be the epicenter of New York's Haiti relief effort."

The center, located in a National Guard armory at 1579 Bedford Ave., will be open from 10 am to 8 pm weekdays and 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays.
