Kavod was part of the JP/West Roxbury Sanctuary cluster, a coalition of local congregations which provided sanctuary (safe housing) to an individual at risk of deportation during 2017-2018, as well as support to an asylum-seeking family in 2019. Though the cluster is not currently active, we remain ready to mobilize if needed again.
