Founded in 1981, Hogar Immigrant Services responds to the Catholic Church's call for social justice by welcoming the stranger to this country, regardless of ethnicity, religion, nationality, or ability to pay.
Our goal is for immigrants to achieve self-sufficiency and participate fully in the greater community. We achieve this goal by offering a combination of legal consultation & representation; English-language instruction & other adult education programs; and naturalization assistance.
