Standing Together for Dignity, Stability, and Belonging
In the wake of the recent ICE raids in Santa Monica, too many of our neighbors — workers, parents, and community members — are facing sudden hardship. Many of the people impacted contribute every day to the life and vitality of our city, yet they are excluded from most forms of federal assistance.
Santa Monica for All is our collective response.
Led by Haven Services and a coalition of local nonprofits, this campaign provides direct cash aid and community resources to help affected individuals and families recover, rebuild, and move forward with dignity.
If you are looking for direct cash aid or community resources please visit our Santa Monica for All Fund page.
We are launching this campaign to provide:
Our goal is simple: to provide direct cash aid (typically between $500-$1000 dependent on documented need) to individuals who work in the City of Santa Monica and have been negatively affected by the recent raids. These funds will help cover essential needs—food, rent, and transportation—so recipients can focus on rebuilding and caring for their families.
We believe that when one part of our community is hurting, we all have a role to play. By offering this support, we are strengthening the bonds that connect us and are affirming that everyone who works in Santa Monica deserves security and compassion.
Haven Services is honored to partner with multiple nonprofits and regional agencies to launch this initiative. Collectively, we have created a dedicated resource hub that contains new and existing programs that can help all individuals negatively affected by the raids, regardless of eligibility for the direct aid program.
We know from experience:
This initiative is more than a response campaign, it’s a collective expression of care and resilience. By joining hands, we uphold the values that make Santa Monica a community where everyone belongs.
This is an urgent, community-driven fund. Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping immigrant families cover legal costs and stay on stable ground.
We invite our partners, donors, and supporters to contribute — and to share this effort widely.
Together, we can make sure that justice is not only for those who can afford it.
Haven Services announces the launch of Santa Monica for All, a new community initiative created to support local workers and families affected by the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the City of Santa Monica.
Many of the individuals impacted contribute daily to the life, culture, and vitality of Santa Monica — working in restaurants, construction, caregiving, and hospitality — yet they are excluded from most federal and state assistance programs.
This initiative is our collective response: a way to ensure that every member of our community has the support they need to move forward with dignity and stability.
