Mission

The mission of the Benefits Access for Immigrants Los Angeles Network (BAILA Network) is to support immigrant families and essential workers to access the public benefits that can keep them healthy and strong and improve their financial security. Our goal is that immigrants and essential workers receive education, legal services and benefit enrollment in their own languages and in the communities where they live so we can close the gap in immigrant enrollment in public benefits.
