Asian Law Caucus: Protecting and Advocating for Asian Pacific Americans' Legal and Civil Rights Goals: Equality, Justice, and Empowerment for All The Asian Law Caucus is dedicated to safeguarding, promoting, and advancing the legal and civil rights of Asian Pacific Americans. With a strong commitment to equality and justice, the caucus aims to address the societal, economic, political, and racial disparities prevalent in the United States. Empowering the Asian Pacific American community lies at the core of the caucus's mission. By combining community legal education, litigation, and advocacy, they strive to provide support and resources to this community. Legal Assistance for Immigrants, Refugees, and More The Asian Law Caucus is a valuable resource for low-income Asian Pacific Americans, particularly those who are immigrants or refugees. They offer vital legal assistance in various areas, including civil rights, immigration, elder rights, and housing. Important Information for Housing Assistance Waiting Lists: Be Prepared It is important to note that most low-income apartments have waiting lists, and sometimes, the wait can be several years. Therefore, it is advisable to get on as many waiting lists as possible to increase the chances of receiving housing. Direct Contact with Apartments To inquire about openings or open waiting lists, it is best to directly contact the apartments. We provide phone numbers and websites to facilitate this process. Apartment Rates: Income-Based Determination On many listings, we provide current apartment rates. However, it is important to note that most HUD listings do not have published rates. Instead, they are based on 30% of the renters' adjustable gross income. To determine if you qualify for income-based rent, it is essential to contact the apartments directly.
