OR HB2788

Department of Human Services must provide grants to nonprofit service providers to help noncitizens change their immigration status or obtain lawful permanent resident status, covering legal services and USCIS fees

Eligible noncitizens include DACA recipients, those eligible for DACA, and special immigrants from Iraq and Afghanistan under federal programs

Financial assistance is income-based: full cost coverage for those at or below 200% federal poverty level; $1,500 for income up to $60,000; $1,000 for $60,000-$70,000; $750 for $70,000-$80,000

State policy goals ("Pathways to Protection and Citizenship") target 20% uptake of eligible individuals by 2027, 50% by 2029, and 100% by 2031

DHS must provide information and referrals to the grant program for all individuals served by the department, without collecting immigration status or country of birth information
