Sustainable Rural Communities (SRCP): The Sustainable Rural Communities Project works to ensure equal access to health care for California's farm worker and rural indigent population through a three-part strategy of health status data development, analysis and dissemination; public policy analysis and discussion; and community outreach, education and capacity building.In 2018, we continued to work at the local, regional, and statewide level to address the systemic causes of our communities' poverty, poor health, and degraded environment. CRLAF advocates work to craft systemic solutions around healthcare for all, environmental justice issues (land use, unmet transit needs, water quality), fostering more accountable and inclusive governance, and directing financial resources that address the priorities of the SRCP to rural and disadvantaged communities.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2017 – Sep 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$382.3KProgram 2 [2018]
Immigrant and Immigration Integration Project:The Immigration and Immigrant Integration Project provides extensive community education and outreach, advocacy, training, legal and technical assistance in the more marginalized immigrant communities throughout rural California. The Project focuses on providing outreach and information on the naturalization process, the effects of the DHS's "Secure Communities" program on immigrants, the immigration consequences of criminal convictions, and immigration relief and benefits. Attorneys provide training to community advocates on immigration and naturalization law and direct assistance to immigrant communities with applying for citizenship, VAWA, T visas, U visas, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and relief for unaccompanied minors (asylum and SIJS).GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2017 – Sep 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$986.2KProgram 3 [2018]
Legal Support Services: As a California IOLTA-funded Support Center, CRLAF provides free technical assistance to IOLTA-funded legal services programs across California. Our primary focus is on rural poor issues with substantive expertise in the areas of civil and human rights, family-based immigration, VAWA, U visas, T visas, naturalization, education, labor and employment, agricultural workers health, rural housing, pesticides and worker safety. The project also carries out policy-oriented research and farmworker field surveys, conducts legislative and administrative advocacy in the wage & hour, unemployment insurance, and farm worker law areas, both at the state and federal levels, and provides training, technical assistance and advocacy support to California legal services programs. The project's chief objectives are: to expand state labor laws affecting the rights of farm workers and other low-wage workers; to improve and reform state labor law enforcement efforts, particularly in the underground economy; to take a leadership role in opposing legislative or regulatory efforts to weaken new or existing labor rights that impact low-wage workers, and especially farm workers and their families; to undertake related legal and public policy research, education and media efforts; to train advocates, attorneys and agency staff about CRLAF-sponsored labor laws; to monitor guest worker admissions into California under the federal H-2A program; to participate in national advocacy efforts around guest worker programs and farmworker legalization.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2017 – Sep 30, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$405.9K
