IIBA provides high-quality immigration legal services, education, <br />and civic engagement opportunities to immigrants, refugees and their families as <br />they join and contribute to the community. IIBA's “Serving Immigrant Victims of <br />Violent Crimes” project will educate and assist low-income Redwood City <br />immigrants who have been victims of domestic violence and other violent crimes, <br />so that they can legally secure immigration relief through the 'U Visa' and <br />advance along the path towards U.S. Citizenship, based on the immigration law <br />that was specifically designed by Congress to increase public safety for <br />immigrants and for the entire community. Funding Requested: $20,000. Funding <br />Recommended: $10,000. <br /> <br />Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County – Homesavers: Preserving <br />Affordable Housing in Our Community. The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo <br />County works to bring fairness to the County’s housing courts, helps to keep low- <br />income tenants in their affordable homes, and mitigates the effects of a potential <br />eviction. Legal Aid does this by providing legal advice and services to about 100 <br />clients each month at three weekly housing clinics, including a Landlord/Tenant <br />Clinic at the San Mateo County Superior Court in Redwood City and a Tenant’s <br />Clinic at the Fair Oaks Community Center. Legal Aid attorneys, project staff, and <br />trained pro bono attorneys meet one-on-one with clients at the housing clinics <br />where they answer questions, provide legal advice, help with the completion of <br />legal paperwork, and explain to clients what to expect in the county’s housing <br />courts.

Funding Recommended: $10,000. <br /> <br />Peninsula Family Service – Fair Oaks Adult Activity Center. <br />Peninsula Family Service strengthens the community by providing children, <br />families, and older adults the support and tools to realize their full potential and <br />lead healthy, stable lives.
