Overview

Mission

Pirc provides high quality legal services so that vulnerable immigrants and their families in pa have access to justice and a more secure future.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community programs; pirc provides services in the community through two programs: 1) the immigrant survivors project and 2) the community response / medical legal partnership project. The immigrant survivors project is a critical provider of immigration legal services for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking across Pennsylvania. Isp partners with victim service agencies across the state in a unique model of service delivery that provides coordinated and holistic support to help survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault stabilize their immigration status, allowing them to access legal protections for them and their children as they create new lives of safety, economic well-being, resilience, and acountability for their abusers. This, in turn, benefits local communities by increasing the stability, safety, and economic prosperity of all residents. Unfortunately, the demand for these specialized services outweighs the availability of these services across the state, with pirc being one of the few statewide providers in this area. At the close of 2024, isp had approximately 396 open legal cases, having closed out 49 direct representation cases and 78 cases of consults or other brief services throughout the year. The community response project / medical legal partnership: in 2022, wellspan health and pirc launched a medical legal partnership to address health-harming legal needs of patients who would otherwise not be able to address or afford such services. This program addresses needs proactively in support of health. In 2024, the medical legal partnership provided legal services to 24 new referrals with medically compelling immigration legal needs. In 2023 pirc launched the community response porject to complement the work of the medical legal partnership by offering additional legal services and legal information to immigrants in york county with emergent needs who were not being referred by wellspan health. These additional services allow more community members to stabilize their immigration status and obtain employment authorization, strengthening local commuinties and providing a more stable future these families. In 2024, the community response project served 50 individuals with consultations, brief services, and direct representation. In march of 2025, the organization lost the wellspan medical legal partnership.

Operating model

Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
