Strengthening Safety and Stability in Lake County
Crisis Resource Library
This Resource Library is a centralized space designed to support community partners, service providers and residents by offering a curated collection of local and regional resources in response to increased ICE enforcement in Lake County.
This library builds on our county-wide cross-sector coordination call efforts, which bring together nonprofits, local governments, schools, health systems, businesses and community leaders to share real-time updates, resources and strategies for maintaining community safety and stability during moments of heightened risk or uncertainty.
Together, we can strengthen coordination and ensure consistent and reliable information is shared across sectors. If you have any questions or wish to share additional resources, please connect with Quetzali at [email protected]
