Extraordinary Partnership Makes Powerful Impact: Partner Spotlight

This week, we highlight our partnership with a local nonprofit, Door of Hope, located in Pasadena. Door of Hope fights to prevent homelessness in families by providing shelter and therapy. Their target demographic frequently intersects with the IRC, as many of their most vulnerable clients face immigration legal issues. Recently, we partnered with Door of Hope to support an undocumented minor and her single mother. Door of Hope was able to provide housing and access a grant that allowed them to cover over $1,000 in required filing fees for the minor to receive her permanent residency, while the IRC was able to provide legal services for the family to represent them before USCIS.

Together, the IRC and Door of Hope were able to provide all resources necessary for this family in the most vulnerable of situations - including homelessness. It was a privilege and an honor to help an undocumented minor to apply for permanent residence and receive the protection for her and her mother to remain safely in the United States. Thank you for your support of our work. It really does make a difference!
