>> (BROOKLYN, NY) - On Monday, New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer was joined by AssemblyMember Rodneyse Bichotte, Council Member Mathieu Eugene, and community leaders on a tour of the Flatbush Caton Market to distribute the first copies of a Haitian Creole-language version of the Comptroller's "Immigrant Rights and Services Manual," a comprehensive guide to city, State and federal services.
>>  
>> The 70-page guide has been translated into Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Haitian Creole and is being translated into a number of other languages. The manual outlines the real-life impact of recent legislation and policy changes, such as IDNYC, the new municipal identification card, and Local Laws 58 and 59, which restrict the city's cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
>>  
>> "I am thrilled that the Haitian Creole-speaking community will now have its own edition of my Immigration Rights and Services Manual," Comptroller Stringer said. "All New Yorkers must have the tools they need to succeed in our city, and this guide is an important resource for our entire city, providing essential health, legal, social, and education information for all five boroughs. New York has welcomed and celebrated immigrant diversity for more than 100 years, and this manual is an important part of that tradition."
>>  
>> "I am so happy to see that this manual is now being made available in Haitian Creole", said Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte. "The information contained within the manual is invaluable and now the Creole speaking constituents in the district will have access to it. Just drawing on my own experience, knowing where to call and where to go to gain access to the resources that you need is so important. I wish such a resource existed when my mother and I needed it most. I applaud the New York City Comptroller Scott for making this resource available."
