About Us

Asylum Seeker Network of Support, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the state of Texas that provides social support services to asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants on both sides of the Texas/Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley, as well as states all across the USA.

We are also serve as an incubator of ideas that we develop into grassroots efforts that provide direct aid to asylum seekers in whatever situation or geographic location they may be. We use our expertise and experience in working with immigrant persons to design and implement effective efforts and train others to direct the efforts.

ASNS has pioneered programs such as the first American NGO run center in Matamoros specifically designed to serve asylum seekers (Resource Center Matamoros) the first LGBTQ+ case management program and shelter in Matamoros (now known as Rainbow Bridge Asylum Seekers) and has coordinated a collaborated effort to develop a respite center in Matamoros that can house close to 1,000 persons that helps avoid homelessness among the immigrant community.

We also partner with various immigrant advocacy organization and activists to achieve a holistic approach to serving the migrant population with their needs. Our involvement allows to advocate for specific needs of asylum seekers, with an emphasis on vulnerable populations such as, women, children, and LGBTQ+.
