Haitian Pro Bono Efforts

In response to the tragic earthquake in Haiti and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, AILA has pulled together a comprehensive list of resources on pro bono efforts nationwide. Resources for AILA chapters and non-profit legal service providers who wish to host pro bono TPS clinics are here, as well as a calendar of pro bono events and clinics. If you have additional resources to post, please contact Susan Timmons, AILA Pro Bono Associate. This page is open to the public and does not require AILA membership.

Haitian nationals considering applying for temporary protected status should take care to ensure that any individual assisting them with a TPS application is a licensed attorney or accredited representative from a recognized organization. Make sure that you do not become a victim of fraud!
