households safer and healthier.

Through the Immigrant Family Resource Program (IFRP), LOS also connects more than
50 individuals every month with limited English proficiency (LEP) annually with SNAP, SSI,
Medicaid, and Medicare through case management services.
Legal Nights / Noches Legales
LOS currently offers the opportunity for community members to meet with a BIA-Accredited Representative weekly or an immigration attorney twice a month for a wide variety of legal services. A flyer for the legal nights can be viewed and downloaded here.
New Americans Initiative
New Americans Initiative to help you through the process of becoming a U.S. citizen, with FREE assistance.
If you are considering becoming a U.S. citizen, we strongly urge you to do it now. The cost of citizenship is increasing every year, and there are many efforts in Washington to make the test much more difficult and the process even more bureaucratic.
We can answer your questions about:
Who is eligible for citizenship?
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
Do I need to speak English? How well?
What is on the Citizenship Test? How do I prepare?
What are the benefits of U.S. citizenship?
We can assist with your citizenship application with:
Citizenship workshops for application assistance.
A checklist of the documents you must submit.
Referral to citizenship and English classes, if necessary.
Help with materials to prepare you for the citizenship test.
Help with financing the citizenship process.
U.S. citizenship is the path to full participation in our nation. You can vote, travel freely, protect yourself and your family members from the possibility of deportation, petition to unite with other family members, hold a wider range of jobs, and have access to all of the rights, benefits, and responsibilities of a full member of the United States of America.
We also encourage you to volunteer with the New Americans Initiative, assisting others to become U.S. citizens and participate in our Democracy.
So...for yourself, for your family, and for your community, take the step to become a U.S. citizen!
Continue your American Dream.
The Opportunity is Now! Participate!. Become A Citizen! Vote!.
