Guardianship of a minor
Often, minors live with guardians other than their parents. A legal guardian, appointed by a family or probate court when parents are unable to care for their children, assumes the responsibilities of a parent. This includes providing food, healthcare, and housing. Guardians, often family members, also manage the child’s medical, financial, and mental well-being.

Immigration
“Immigration” refers to relocating to a foreign country to establish a new life. U.S. immigration law sets the rules for this process, offering various paths such as Lawful Permanent Residency (LPR), commonly known as a “green card,” and immigrant visas. Immigration decisions consider factors like family reunification, work skills, and investments. Additionally, the U.S. visa program protects refugees and asylees who cannot return home due to persecution or civil unrest.
Rights Restoration
“Right restoration” refers to regaining civil rights lost due to a felony conviction, which can include jail time, fines, and probation. If you’ve been convicted of a felony and lost rights such as the ability to carry a weapon, you may have your rights automatically restored upon the first conviction if you are eligible and have fulfilled all sentence conditions. However, regaining the right to possess or own a firearm, or restoring rights after multiple felony convictions, requires court discretion.

Section 8 Housing
Section 8 housing is a federal program that provides rental assistance to low-income individuals and families. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the program aims to make housing more affordable by paying a portion of the rent directly to private landlords on behalf of eligible tenants. Participants in the program pay about 30% of their monthly income towards rent, and the government subsidy covers the remainder. This assistance helps ensure that low-income families have access to safe, decent, and affordable housing.
