ALLIP was launched in 2002 to provide direct contact between limited English speaking immigrants and legal advocates and receives more than 10,000 calls each year. As the only Asian language legal intake program in Southern California with trained bilingual staff, it is a critical resource for indigent monolingual or limited English speaking immigrants in need of legal assistance. Advancing Justice-LA’s hotlines prioritize assistance to low-income persons in the following areas of law: incidents of hate and racism, discrimination, housing rights, family law, domestic violence, immigration, employment, and civil rights.
