Be specific as to how you will come into contact with clients for <br />the first time (e.g., detention center legal orientation program (LOP), detention hotline, community <br />referrals) and how the case will be selected for representation. Which detention facility(les) will you serve? <br />Please describe what, if any, prior relationships you have with area detention centers that will help <br />facilitate your program. Organizations should propose a plan for intaking and offering representations to <br />people that is consistent with the principle of universal representation of those eligible under this contract. <br />Please describe how your program will incorporate community referrals into your intake plan. <br />Like all our representation programs, ImmDef will run our intake system on a universal representation <br />model. Potential clients will be screened for eligibility based solely on residence, financial inability to <br />afford legal counsel, and whether a potential client is in danger of removal from the United States. <br />Financial eligibility is determined using the Federal poverty guidelines which are based on household size, <br />ImmDef will primarily identify prospective detained clients through a referral system where partner legal <br />services organizations can refer prospective clients. These partner organizations include current legal <br />service providers conducting Legal Orientation Programs (LOP) at Adelanto, as well as community -based <br />organizations serving the needs of immigrant communities living in Santa Ana. ImmDef will request that <br />LOP providers at Adelanto refer all pro se detainees identified as Santa Ana residents or community <br />members to ImmDef for screening for representation. <br />ImmDef will simultaneously accept referrals of Santa Ana residents detained at area detention facilities <br />from Santa Ana community -based organizations. Upon receipt of a referral, ImmDef's staff attorney will <br />conduct further screening of the client to ensure eligibility. If the client is eligible under agreement the <br />attorney will offer representation on the spot. ImmDef will focus its efforts to represent Santa Ana <br />residents detained at the Adelanto facility. We have a strong prior relationship with this facility; ImmDef <br />Pi <br />
