By and For Immigrants

Manzanita House is by and for immigrants—because everyone who reaches out deserves to be met with genuine care.

At Manzanita House, we strive to display this care in response to every call received, every question asked, and every person encountered. Our immigrant-led staff and programs ensure that our support is grounded in lived experience, cultural understanding, and deep respect.

Our genuine care for those we serve shows up in:
🔹Our accessibility.
Manzanita Immigration Legal Aid (MILA) receives an average of 1,000 phone calls every month from immigrants seeking legal guidance and support. We do our best to make sure that when people reach out—often during stressful and uncertain moments—they are met with patience, clarity, and compassion.

🔹Our affordability.
The average full market-rate legal fees for the immigrant legal support we provide can range between $5,500–$7,500. In order to meet clients where they're at, we keep our services affordable and, in many fully represented cases, cover costs entirely.
