The Governor's Office Has Launched the California Immigrant Guide
This tool provides information on state-funded programs benefitting immigrants in California. The website can be found at
www.immigrantguide.ca.gov. The website currently highlights four main programs: Learn English, Find Jobs, and Training, Education, and Legal Help and Citizenship.
Given the recent rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the website has information for DACA grantees on accessing legal services to renew, as well as information on the impact of the decision on key state programs.
