Just Neighbors Annual Report

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Friends,

Last year, Just Neighbors saw a record number of lives changed by the work of our attorneys, staff, and volunteers; we helped the most families last year than any other year in our 26 year history! We were only able to do that because of YOUR financial support. Coming out of the pandemic, there were many challenges, including extremely high backlogs of case processing by USCIS and immigration courts, meaning adjudication of cases took much longer than usual. And while so much attention is focused on the border, much less is paid to the increasing number of immigrants who are seeking legal services.

The Washington Metropolitan area is the largest per capita resettlement area for unaccompanied minor children and Afghan refugees, most of whom have pathways to documentation, but require very complicated and time-consuming casework. As a result, our requests for service were up by 11% and continue to rise.

While we have continued to help more and more immigrants, the demand far outweighs our capacity to serve. We continue to seek additional funding to support our ongoing efforts and increasing need.

Also coming out of the pandemic, we have been rebuilding our volunteer program, including legal clinics, community outreach, volunteer attorneys and front-office support. More clients mean more need for document translation and interpretation, including languages beyond Spanish (Dari, Pashtu, Haitian Creole and indigenous Mayan languages). Because of our incredible volunteers, we have been able to minimize the costs of these services.

We actively advocated for issues that affect immigrants in our community on the federal, state, and local levels, pushing congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act (so far unsuccessful), supporting the establishment and/or renewal of Temporary Protected Status and championing humane border policies.

Meanwhile, we also made reforms internally by examining our own salary equity practices. With the significant growth over the last 5 years, we needed to address issues like living wages, equity across job types, recognition of language capabilities, and more. After a several month long process, we implemented phase 1 of a two year pay restructure, as well as non-negotiable salary structure for new hires based on actual skills and experience.

As we look ahead at 2023, we are working to increase our capacity to serve more unaccompanied minor children, bolster our work in the rural footprint, and build more support for our work in Maryland.

We are inspired by the resilience of our clients, the commitment of our volunteers, and the generosity of our donors. We are blessed with a dedicated, passionate, outstanding staff. We look forward to helping many more of our immigrant neighbors thrive.

We are grateful for your support and look forward to another strong year.

Erin

Our Greatest Accomplishments

Relaunched Immigration Legal Clinics

Legal clinics were relaunched in Annandale and new clinics were held in Baltimore, Silver Spring, Warrenton, Winchester and Waynesboro to meet clients where they are and meet the demand for advice and counsel clinics for Afghan refugees and Cameroonians seeking TPS.

Launched a Client Advocacy Program

We implemented a new Client Advocate position to provide support for Just Neighbors' many clients who are survivors of domestic violence. Clients now have access to counseling in Spanish, as well as case-work to help with additional needs like food, shelter, obtaining drivers licenses, and more.

Practiced Racial and Salary Equity

Just Neighbors’ Racial Equity Committee continues to work to advance racial equity in all aspects of our work, including a salary equity initiative and greater transparency for a more equitable and safe workplace.

Expanded our Youth Program

Our Legal Defense for Immigrant Children and Youth program began as a response to our region's highest number of unaccompanied minors resettling per capita in the country. Just Neighbors now has a full-time attorney dedicated to providing removal defense for minors in Virginia.

WHAT DO JUST NEIGHBORS CLIENTS SAY?

We can spend all day telling you about Just Neighbors and how we think we're positively impacting our clients. Instead, see what they have to say about their own experiences.

I just got my own private health insurance and I can call the police if I need them. I am not walking in the street in fear anymore. I don't need to walk with my head down, I can lift my eyes and see people's faces. This means so much to me. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all your help with everything. You were a really bright light that God sent to me in a very dark time of my life. I am very thankful for you and all your hard work with me!

I owe everything I have now to Just Neighbors. at a time when I was at my lowest point and I just gave birth and had nowhere to go, they were there to start the process to help me and my immigration status in the US. Without JN I wouldn't be able to provide for my child and we would be living on the streets or worse they would have taken my child from me. 

Changed my life drastically, I'm able to work gov't jobs, about to join fire dept and becoming an EMT, able to contribute to the community, provide for my family and my future family. Because I was able to get my work permit, I was also able to get medical insurance, own my own apartment, I'm self-sufficient. Overall great service!

I'm grateful and thankful that I have Just Neighbors.

We Love Our Volunteers!

Without our volunteers, Just Neighbors would not be able to serve as many immigrant families as we do every year. The incredible generosity of our team of 178 volunteers helps to answer every single request for assistance we receive to make sure every single person leaves Just Neighbors with more resources than before. Without them, we would not have the same impact. We cannot thank them enough for their time! We truly appreciate each and every one of you!

How This is Made Possible

Clients at Just Neighbors are charged a single $100 consultation fee to receive immigration legal services. A private attorney would charge up to $10,000 per immigration case, with the price drastically increasing with the complexity of the case.

Regardless of who you are of what your case includes, Just Neighbors does not charge anyone more than $100. We truly wouldn't be able to do this without generous donors, foundations, faith communities, businesses, and government support.

Yesterday, Senate Republicans blocked President Bidens Emergency Funding Bill to demand EVEN MORE funding for the border and make cruel changes to existing asylum policies. 

The Senate MUST PROTECT ASYLUM during the negotiation process. Contact your Senator today and ask that they:

🟥 Create more legal pathways to receiving an immigration status, like parole programs or appointments at ports of entry
🟥 Create more work permits for immigrants that are already in the US
🟥 Provide resources to border cities, communities, and nonprofits (like Just Neighbors!) that welcomes immigrants

Immigration legal services are a huge, sometimes impossible, investment for immigrant families. For Rafael and his family, this was the reality.

Guadalupe, Rafaels mom, met Managing Attorney of Rural Programs, Tori in 2015. She qualified for a U-visa (for victims of crime), but had to wait 7 years until her application was approved. But it gets better. Having a U-visa meant Guadalupe could petition for reunification with Rafael, who she hadnt seen in 20 years.

This year, Rafael was finally approved to travel to the US. They graciously shared the video of their family reunification, with the hope that it would inspire more support for the immigration legal services that made their family whole again.

Join Just Neighbors in investing in the reunification of immigrant families, like Rafael and Guadalupes. Your donation is not just getting someone a work permit, a green card, or US citizenship. Youre investing in families being reunited after decades of being separated. Click the link in our bio to invest in immigrants!

Servicios legales de inmigración es una gran, a veces imposible, inversión para familias inmigrantes. Para Rafael y su familia, esto fue la realidad.

Guadalupe, la mama de Rafael, conoció a Tori, la abogada gerente de programas rurales, en 2015. Ella era eligible para una U-visa (para víctimas de crimen), pero tuvo que esperar por 7 años hasta que su solicito fue aprobado. Pero se pone mejor. Gracias al U-visa, Guadalupe pudo solicitar la reunificación con Rafael, al que no veía desde hacía 20 años.

Este año, Rafael fue aprobado para viajar a los EE.UU. Compartieron amablemente el vídeo de su familia reunida, con la esperanza de que inspirará más apoyo a los servicios legales de inmigración que hicieron posible la reunificación de su familia.

Únase a Just Neighbors para invertir en la reunificación de familias inmigrantes, como la de Rafael y Guadalupe. Su donación no es sólo conseguirle a alguien un permiso de trabajo, una tarjeta verde o la ciudadanía estadounidense. Está invirtiendo en que las familias se reúnan después de décadas de estar separadas. Link en bio para invertir en inmigrantes ahora!

ICYMI: Richards 15,444 Mile Immigration Journey

Richard and his wife Anna fled Cuba in April of 2019 with the hopes of reaching Brazil to start a new life. 4 years and 15,444 miles later, Richard and his family finally found stability - but it wasnt in Brazil like they had imagined. It was in the US, and involved a long journey through Latin America and the treacherous Darién Gap that connects Colombia to Panamá.

🚨 TPS HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND REDESIGNATED FOR CAMEROON 🇨🇲
*version française sur notre profil

The Department of Homeland Security has announced the extension and redesignation of Cameroon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months, from December 8, 2023, through June 7, 2025, due to ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in Cameroon that prevent individuals from safely returning. 

In order to qualify for the new designation, Cameroon nationals must have entered the U.S. on or before Oct. 5, 2023. The Federal Register notice below provides information about how to register as a new or current beneficiary for TPS under Cameroon’s extension and redesignation. 

Please contact Just Neighbors if you would like an appointment to renew your TPS or to apply for the first time if you qualify under the new designation. You can call our office at (703) 979-1240 Tuesday-Friday from 9:00AM-5:00PM or complete an intake form online 👇
