Red Folder: Supporting Families A toolkit for our local community, offering guidance on navigating immigration-related resources and more With the ongoing national focus on immigration policy and potential changes, our team at First 5 Humboldt recognized the importance of providing accessible, up-to-date support for families with diverse immigration statuses. That’s why we created the Red Folder—a resource that’s more than just information. It’s a companion designed to grow alongside families, keeping them informed and supported. Inside, families will find essential information on legal rights, healthcare, education, community services, and practical tips for having difficult conversations. Our team is committed to regularly updating this folder as policies and resources evolve, ensuring it remains current and relevant. We created the Red Folder with care to help families feel safe, connected, and empowered within our community. Our hope is that this resource offers the knowledge, support, and warmth every family deserves as they navigate their journey here.
