Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

IMPORTA Santa Barbara was founded in 2011 as an organization dedicated to providing services for Santa Barbara County's large population of low-income immigrants. In 2012, the organization decided to focus on providing immigration legal services through representatives accredited by the U.S. Department of Justice which governs immigration law. Since authorization was received in August of 2012, the organization has almost exclusively dedicated its work to providing immigration legal services, principally through representing immigrants in their petitions and applications to the USCIS. An important part of this work is educational outreach to immigrants in Santa Barbara County, and neighboring San Luis Obispo and Ventura Counties. Our ultimate goal is advancing the integration of local immigrant families into the social and civic life of the community.
