Your next step
Open the official website and choose the service or local office that matches your question. Confirm current requirements directly with that program.
Questions to ask
- Does this program serve my location and situation?
- What are the current costs, openings and application requirements?
- Can I get an interpreter or an accessible way to use the service?
If this one cannot help
Other starting points for the same need:
- California immigrant resources: California’s official page for immigrant families: Governor’s Office know-your-rights fact sheets in 15 languages, links to state-funded nonprofit legal providers and ImmigrationLawHelp.org, scam warnings, and guidance on school, work and public programs.
- Informed Immigrant: Plain-language guides for immigrants on DACA, detention, health care and work, plus a ZIP code search for legal and community help. It is an information site, not a law office.
- ImmigrationLawHelp.org: A national directory of free or low-cost nonprofit immigration legal service providers. Search by ZIP code, county or the name of a detention facility.

Here is what we know, what is still unclear, and what you can still do.
