Community Legal Response Project is Casa Cornelia's newest initiative—launched to meet the evolving needs of San Diego's immigrant communities during times of heightened immigration enforcement. Through trusted partnerships and collaboration, the Project ensures that vital legal information, timely counsel, and urgent limited-scope representation are available to those most in need. While Casa Cornelia's core programs continue to provide full scope representation, the Project team is uniquely designed as a project to complement these services and extend critical support where it is needed most urgently. Many individuals who connect through the Project may ultimately be served through Casa Cornelia's established programs.
