Central Valley Immigrant Integration Collaborative

CVIIC's Immigration Legal Services program is designed to help low-income immigrant families by providing access to free, high quality, trustworthy immigration legal services. This is done in conjunction with nonprofit immigration legal services providers and pro bono attorneys. The program also contributed to the improvement of the regional immigration-related organizational capacity by promoting a model of regional coordination and collaboration, co-sponsoring regional capacity building events, organizing an annual regional conference. In 2024, CVIIC's immigration team served a total of 17,282 clients with free immigration legal service at free legal services workshops, in office appointments, and telephonic assistance. In addition, 8,648 people benefited from our in-person community education presentations.
