(Eight Community Colleges chosen)….They will be part of a pilot program.

The program offers free immigration related resources that officials say are much needed to serve undocumented students in a time of uncertainty. The program rolls out this year and will provide students, faculty and staff with legal services, such as confidential consultations on immigration status and outreach events, including workshops on immigration related topics. The local community Colleges chosen to receive the aid include; Imperial Valley College, Cuyamaca, Mira Costa, Palomar, San Diego City, San Diego Mesa and Southwestern. A total of $#10 million was set aside through Assembly Bill 1809 for the State Department of Social Services to contract non-profits that offer immigration legal services. It is called the Community College Immigration Legal Services Project.
