For a full copy of the report, please visit bit.ly/PhilaLatinoImpact.
Ceiba and Santander Honored by the Philadelphia Business Journal
In April 2019, The Philadelphia Business Journal honored the partnership between Ceiba and Santander bank as part of its annual Faces of Philanthropy event that recognizes excellent partnerships between non-profit organizations and for-profit companies.
Ceiba and Santander were honored for their pilot program that enables low-to-moderate income immigrants to save and secure low-cost loans for expenses associated with attaining U.S. citizenship. Since 2017, Santander has donated $450,000 to Ceiba and its coalition of organizations in support of programming in greater Philadelphia. Thirty-nine Santander volunteers dedicated more than 150 hours to provide support in two important ways – tax assistance and pro-bono legal services. Santander staff provided free tax assistance to 264 of Ceiba’s clients through sessions offered during the tax season.
Ceiba Organizes First-Ever Philadelphia Municipal ID Pop-Up
On Friday, April 12th, and Saturday, April 13th, Ceiba made Philadelphia history by hosting the City's first Philadelphia Municipal ID Pop-Up Event. Over 120 people received the ID during the event.
Ceiba Organizes PHFA Pre-Purchase Workshops
On Saturday, March 30th and Saturday, April 6th, Ceiba organized PHFA Pre-Purchase workshops for members of United Way's Ira Lubert Matched Savings Program for First-Time Homebuyers.
Ceiba Organizes Census 2020 Event
To mark the one year countdown to the start of Census 2020, Ceiba organized a Workshop/Rally to inform community residents, Latino nonprofit stakeholders and the Hispanic media about the significance of the upcoming Census and the urgency of working to ensure that there is a complete count in our neighborhoods.
The purpose of the Workshop/Rally at Ceiba on April 1, 2019 was to:
Inform people who are new to the Census
Reach allies who know about the Census but have not yet taken action
Motivate the two groups of people above to be active in ensuring a complete count
The Workshop/Rally featured remarks and presentations by:
US Census Spokesperson
Philadelphia Complete Count Committee's Executive Director, Stephanie Reid
The location and backdrop of the Workshop/Rally buttressed the call to action and highlighted the resources available to help people engage in the Census effort.
Ceiba is the leading advocacy and coalition building organization in Philadelphia's Latino community. Ceiba's Executive Director, Will Gonzalez, is a member of the Philadelphia Complete Count Committee. He is the Chair of the Immigrant and Limited English Proficiency Subcommittee of the Philadelphia Complete Count Committee.
Ceiba is also active in helping unauthorized immigrants build their economic base by using free tax preparation and application assistance for Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs) as gateways to asset-building. On select Mondays, Ceiba organizes ITIN information workshops. Those workshops are well attended. On Monday, April 1, 2019, Ceiba leveraged the audience that attends its ITIN workshop. It scheduled the ITIN workshop to maximize the opportunity for ITIN workshop attendees to participate in the Census Workshop/Rally. The participation of unauthorized immigrants at the event highlighted the challenges to a complete count posed by the possible addition of a citizenship question in the 2020 Census.
The backdrop for the Workshop/Rally at Ceiba was a computer lab. This called attention to the role that digital technology will play in the 2020 Census. The importance of internet access and digital skills runs across various parts of the Census:
People interested in applying for the many jobs available with the Census Bureau will need computer access to submit their applications
New Census Bureau employees will need strong, fast, reliable access to the Internet to take the mandatory online training
One of the ways to complete the 2020 Census is online, this can pose challenges for those who do not have access to the internet or need help in filling out the Census
Computer labs at nonprofit neighborhood based organizations can help people apply for Census jobs; take the mandatory online training if they are hired; and complete the 2020 Census online questionnaire
At the Workshop/Rally, Ceiba shared t-shirts, postcards, pledge cards, bottoms, and additional relevant materials from NALEO's (National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials) Hagase Contar initiative.
Ceiba and EILS Organize FREE Immigration Legal Screening + Emergency Readiness Plans for Immigrants
On Saturday, March 23rd, 2019, at 11 AM, Ceiba and Esperanza Immigration Legal Services (EILS) will organize a free immigration legal screening + immigrant emergency readiness plan preparation clinic. The event will take place at Ceiba, located at 174 Diamond St. Philadelphia PA 19122.
At the session, EILS, Ceiba, and a team of trained volunteers will perform comprehensive immigration legal screenings for all types of immigration relief, including asylum, family petitions, U-Visas, and VAWA. Additionally, trained volunteers will assist families in creating emergency readiness plans to prepare for potential ICE detention. As part of the emergency readiness plan preparation, Ceiba and EILS will provide:
Information about documents and resources to have on hand in case of detention by ICE
Assistance with preparing guardianship, travel, and school documents so that children are cared for in case of the detention of parents/legal guardian
“It is important that unauthorized immigrants with children speak with family attorneys about the guardianship of their children in case of detention, especially in Pennsylvania, as the Commonwealth's laws do not offer an easy way to assign guardianship,” expressed Taylor De La Peña, Ceiba's Director of Operations.
“Unauthorized immigrants should prepare for the possibility of detention not only by preparing an emergency readiness plan, but also by getting screened by an immigration attorney for possible relief as soon as possible,” added Alexis Duecker, Executive Director of Esperanza Immigration Legal Services.
At the session, Ceiba and EILS will also inform attendees of their rights if stopped by ICE.
For more information and to register for the session, call 215-634-7245.

Ceiba and EILS Organize FREE Immigration Legal Screening + Immigrant Rights and Tax Reform Workshops
On Tuesday, December 11th, 2018, at 5:30 PM, Ceiba and Esperanza Immigration Legal Services (EILS) will organize a free immigration legal screening clinic and workshops on immigrant rights and tax reform.
At the session, EILS and Ceiba will educate the community on Individuals Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs), how recent changes in tax law will affect ITIN holders, and immigrants’ rights if stopped by ICE. After the workshops, EILS, Ceiba, and a team of trained volunteers will perform comprehensive immigration legal screenings for all types of immigration relief, including asylum, family petitions, U-Visas, and VAWA.
The event will take place at Esperanza College, located at 4261 N. 5th St., Philadelphia PA 19140.
“In the wake of ‘Trump’s Tax Reform,’ there is a lot of confusion in the immigrant community regarding the coming tax season. At the session, we will inform taxpayers of tax changes that could affect them in 2019,” expressed Taylor De La Pena, Ceiba Program Coordinator.
“Unauthorized immigrants should get screened for possible immigration remedies as soon as possible, as applying for legal status and eventual citizenship is the only permanent protection from deportation,” said Alexis Duecker, Executive Director of Esperanza Immigration Legal Services.
As part of the session, Ceiba and EILS will also inform attendees of their rights if stopped by ICE.
For more information and to register for the session, call 215-634-7245.

Ceiba and EILS Organize Public Charge Information Session
On Tuesday, October 16th 2018, at 4:30 PM, Ceiba and Esperanza Immigration Legal Services (EILS) will organize a Public Charge Information Session. The event will take place at Esperanza College, located at 4561 N. 5th St. Philadelphia PA 19140.
Under longstanding policy, the federal government can deny an individual a “green card” or a visa if they believe the individual will become a “public charge.” A “public charge” is someone who primarily relies on the government for subsistence. On September 22, the Trump Administration announced a proposed rule that would expand the criteria for being considered a public charge, including receiving benefits such as:
Medicaid
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Medicare Part-D Low Income Subsidy Program
Housing assistance
At the session, EILS and Ceiba will partner with Community Legal Services (CLS) to share information about the proposed rule.
“It is imperative that the immigrant community understand the meaning of these proposed changes to the “public charge” rule, so that they continue receiving benefits for which they qualify,” said Alexis Duecker, Executive Director of Esperanza Immigration Legal Services. The changes, if made permanent, would likely lead to broad decreases in participation of Medicaid and other programs among immigrant families and their US born children.
“The proposed rule, if implemented, would unfairly punish immigrant families and US born children who lawfully receive public benefits,” expressed Diego Tapia, Ceiba Program Director.
Ceiba and EILS will provide information at the session about what the public can do to prevent the implementation of the rule.
At the information session, Ceiba and EILS will also provide information regarding financial assistance to pay for the cost of applying for immigration relief.
For more information, call 215-324-0746.
