Legal advice to buy a home for asylum seekers leaving ICE detention
At Casa de Paz, we provide post-release support for immigrants released from ICE detention.
Posted April 27, 2021
Background & Context
For the past nine years we've been saving our money and now we're ready to buy a home! I have never purchased a home under a nonprofit and would like some guidance.
Work & Deliverables
I would like some general advice as we begin looking into purchasing a home (with cash) under the name of the nonprofit.

Casa de Paz
We reunite families separated by immigrant detention, one simple act of love at a time. Our services include a post-release support program for immigrants released from detention, a hospitality home for families who have loved ones still detained and a visitation program within the detention center.
