Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

GHIRP's mission is to build a resilient, diverse community by providing comprehensive representation and holistic legal services to immigrants in need.

  • Immigrant Children and Youth (ICY) Program Our team serves unaccompanied children who are placed into Immigration Court proceedings without the right to a free attorney. We provide Know Your Rights (KYR) presentations, legal consultations, social services and direct legal representation to detained and released immigrant children and youth in the Galveston-Houston area. Many of these services are conducted through a universal representation model, meaning we assist clients in navigating the complexities of the immigration process withouth regard to the strength of their case. We offer a full range of holistic services from fighting their deportation in court to securing permanent legal status in the United States and just about everything in between. *1,089 kids received KYR & consultations, *287 kids represented, *65 kids connected to social services, *175 applications filed for clients

    Expenses $670,997

  • Detained Adults Program We represent detained immigrants in the four Houston-area immigrant detention facilities. Our cases range from seeking release to reunite with their families to representing asylum seekers and complex litigation. Our team participates in the first-ever public-private partnership with Harris County to represent low-income Houstonians regardless of the merits of their case. This universal representation operates as a public defender model, where we are assigned to represent individuals on a first come first serve basis, regardless of the strength of the case. Additionally, we represent detained adults who are found incompetent to proceed in immigration court without an attorney. 44 consulations provided 34 clients represented 22 clients under universal representation model

In both Galveston and Houston, we provide pro bono representation to individuals who do not otherwise qualify for grant funded services.
