No, our services are completely free.

AsylumWorks staff generally work with clients between six months to one year. Our goal is to help you get back on your feet so you can become self-reliant.

AsylumWorks occasionally closes its new client waitlist. If you are unable to register for services, please revisit this page on the first business day of next month to see if the waitlist has reopened. We understand this may be disappointing, but we hope to work with you in the future.

After completing the waitlist questionnaire, an AsylumWorks staff member will contact you when it is your turn for an intake appointment. You will be invited to our office for an in-person meeting. We can provide a transportation stipend if local travel to our office is too expensive.

During the appointment, we will explain our services and ask questions to learn more about your needs. You will be asked to sign our New Client Welcome Letter. At that time, you will become an AsylumWorks client and be eligible for services and support from both AsylumWorks and our community partners.
