Description:

Catholic Charities works with refugee communities and other partners to design programs to facilitate the integration of refugees and immigrants into local communities and to prepare for U.S. citizenship. Catholic Charities also provides legal counsel and assistance to serve newcomers to the U.S. who are seeking to become citizens or reunify with family members living in the United States, individuals trying to secure asylum or temporary protection in the U.S., and immigrant victims of domestic violence. In addition, VAWA, the Violence Against Women Act, was created in 1994 and renewed in 2000 with a broader umbrella of protection that now gives immigrant victims of domestic violence a mechanism in which to gain lawful residency in the United States. VAWA protection is extended to anyone in an abusive situation, male or female, who is married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. A good portion of Catholic Charities’ VAWA work is trying to keep parents together with their children who were born here and are now citizens. Catholic Charities Refugee and Immigration Services provides informational videos in various languages on YouTube and through the their website. Legal services are provided and fees for legal counsel are offered on a sliding scale based on an individual's ability to pay.
