Richie Rosen, 43, was born with a rare genetic condition called Williams syndrome. His hands are \u200bweak and unreliable. He longs for human connection but gets anxious in social situations and is easily upset.
For four years, a Haitian caregiver named Tassy helped him navigate day-to-day life at a \u200cgroup home for developmentally disabled men in upstate New York \u2013 cooking for him, driving him around and making difficult chores more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on July 27, Jawonio, the nonprofit that runs the facility, terminated Tassy\u2019s contract after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and the work authorization that came with it.
“I miss him a lot,” Rosen told Reuters last week, sitting in his room at the home in Rockland County, a leafy suburb north of New York City. \u201cI miss him just saying hi to me all the time.”
Around 21,000 of \u200bthe 330,000 Haitians in the United States under TPS worked as caregivers and nursing assistants as of last year, serving around 77,000 patients, according to an analysis of U.S. census data by Philip Connor, a research \u200bfellow at Princeton University.

Their abrupt removal from the healthcare industry has placed additional strain on a system already struggling to meet the needs of the fast-aging U.S. population. \u2060It also came as a shock to families that relied on them.
Richie’s mother, Sharan Rosen, said Tassy was \u201clike family\u201d to her son, who never got the chance to say goodbye to his longtime aide.
\u201cMy heart is breaking for him and \u200bfor my son,\u201d she said.
Reuters was unable to reach Tassy for this story and is using only his first name due to his vulnerable legal status.
Jawonio was forced to lay off nearly two dozen Haitians last month, totaling 7% \u200bof its staff. Most of those affected provided round-the-clock care for disabled patients for around $20 per hour, just a few dollars above New York\u2019s minimum wage.
“These are among the most difficult positions to fill,” Jawonio’s CEO, Randi Rios-Castro, told Reuters in response to emailed questions.
\u201cThis has never been just an immigration issue,\u201d she wrote of the decision to end TPS. \u201cIt is a healthcare workforce issue for us and our country.\u201d
\u2018PATIENT CARE SUFFERS\u2019
The United States granted humanitarian protection to Haitians following a devastating earthquake in 2010.
The Trump administration cited improving conditions \u200bin Haiti as a reason for ending the program, though the country remains among the most unstable in the Western Hemisphere.
Haiti has not held elections since 2016; its last president was assassinated in 2021. Gang violence, opens new tab has convulsed the \u200bcapital. 1.4 million people are displaced from their homes, the U.N. said, opens new tab last year, and about 6 in 10 live in poverty.
No longer able to legally work in the United States, former TPS holders can now return to Haiti voluntarily — or try to stay \u200cin the U.S. \u2060and risk arrest and deportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
