ABOUT LIBRE

Picture
Mission
The mission of Linking Immigrants to Benefits, Resources and Education (LIBRE) is to inform low-income San Mateo County immigrant families and individuals about safety net services that they can legally obtain; dispel misunderstandings about the impact on their immigration status of receiving benefits; provide legal services to ensure that the benefits are actually obtained, and increase the community's capacity to help immigrants access safety net benefits.

What We Do
LIBRE is a multi-agency collaborative that serves San Mateo County immigrant communities housed at the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County.  Many immigrants do not apply for government benefits because they think receiving benefits will affect their immigration options, or expose their family to negative consequences.  LIBRE aims to educate our immigrant community about the different safety net services available, link them to specific agencies in their communities that can assist them with the enrollment process, and provide legal advice.  

​Please visit our Public Benefits 
and Legal Services tabs to learn more about our services.
