Things to know!
Most nonprofits that offer immigration legal services have some form of income restriction, although the specific rules vary by organization. Some serve "low-income" clients, while others, like Catholic Charities, offer "low-cost" services, meaning the fees are reduced but not necessarily free.
Here is a breakdown of the typical income guidelines and payment structures for the listed nonprofits:
Organizations with income limitations
Idaho Legal Aid Services (ILAS)
: Services are generally limited to individuals and groups whose income is at or below 125% of the federal poverty level. The organization also considers assets and case type when determining eligibility.
Community Council of Idaho (CC Idaho)
: CC Idaho's immigration legal program, Familias Unidas, is specifically for low-income families and offers affordable services. The organization provides income guidelines for its other services, which are typically used for its legal programs as well.
The Alliance of Idaho
: This nonprofit provides low-cost services for families, and although not explicitly defined in the search results, "low-cost" implies some level of income assessment to qualify for the reduced fee.
International Rescue Committee (IRC): The IRC's programs are designed to assist refugees and immigrants, and eligibility for their legal services can depend on a person's immigration status and how recently they arrived in the U.S. Their services are often provided at low or no cost to those who qualify.
Organizations that offer low-cost services
Catholic Charities of Idaho (CCI): As a Department of Justice (DOJ) recognized organization, CCI offers low-cost, accessible, and trustworthy legal assistance. Unlike many other nonprofits, CCI states that it provides services "regardless of background or income level." This means they offer a reliable and affordable alternative to private attorneys, though they do not offer free services.
Jannus, Inc. - Agency for New Americans (ANA): ANA and other Jannus programs provide low-cost legal representation for immigration matters.
