Oasis clients are undocumented immigrants, low-income people of color, and victims of hate crimes. All have endured horrific violence in their countries of origin due to their sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or HIV+ status. Gaining legal status through asylum is life changing, providing an opportunity to alleviate poverty and fully engage in our communities. With asylum, clients can legally work better paying jobs, attend school, and access medical and social services. In 2020, despite the difficulties of remote work, Oasis screened 305 LGBTQI immigrants for asylum. We provided holistic legal representation to 213 new asylum seekers and continued legal representation and case management for the more than 500 asylum seekers whose cases are currently pending. 72 clients were granted asylum. The remaining cases are still pending. Our case approval rate is 99%. 84435 0 123943 Permanent residency is the next important step toward citizenship for those who win asylum. With permanent residency, Clients report increased physical and emotional safety, greater financial security, improved health and a new-found confidence to embrace their LGBTQ+ identities. In 2020 Oasis assisted 208 LGBTQ+ immigrants seeking Lawful Permanent Residency. A total of 91 clients were granted residency. The remaining cases are still pending. Our case approval rate remains at 99%. 27107 0 11132 Five years after a grant of asylum, our Clients are eligible to become United States Citizens. Our naturalization program assists clients in becoming citizens so that they can become full participants in our communities. Citizenship grants greater rights and protections, the sense of permanence and belonging needed for clients to build lives in the US, access to civic participation, and the chance to reunite and protect families torn apart by LGBTQ+ persecution. In 2020 Oasis represented 23 new clients in their citizenship applications and received 8 approvals. The remaining cases are still pending. Our case approval rate is 99%. 37660 0 4765 Oasis focuses largely on affirmative asylum and continuity services such as asylee relative petitions, residency, and citizenship. We do periodically provide other immigration legal services to the LGBTQIA+ community as well. These services have included fiancé petitions, family petitions, Temporary Protected Status, travel documents, applications under the Violence Against Women Act, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and other immigration services. Oasis provides holistic client support services to our clients as well as direct legal representation. This program supports our clients through the difficult process of applying for asylum and connects them to the social, emotional, and legal support they need throughout their case and once they are granted legal status. Some of the services that we connect our clients to are: newcomer programs for asylees and refugees, mental health services and support groups, affordable health care, emergency housing, cash assistance, job training, and legal representation for employment discrimination. In 2020, Oasis received a grant to support the US Census taking. 37660 0 4765 640810 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Caroline Roberts 5106666687 1900 Addison Street Suite 100 Berkeley CA 94704 Caroline Roberts Executive Director and CEO 35 0 X X 56413 0 19 Daniel Ostrow Board Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 China Brotsky Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Arata Goto Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Jessy D'Santos Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jack Kornfield Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jenna Lee Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Anna Lijphart Director 25 0 X 0 0 0 Rhina Ramos Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ann Schnuer Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Korab Zuka Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Hsieh Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 56413 0 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1056175 592 1056175 Legal Aid Services 541100 392589 392589 0 0 0 0 0 0 392589 215 0 0 215 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75006 0 75006 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1448979 392589 0 215 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 56423 42312 2824 11287 0 0 0 0 436573 351660 38516 46397 0 0 0 0 46319 37154 3662 5503 38399 30731 3277 4391 0 0 0 0 1700 1700 0 0 15295 0 15295 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 30695 29188 461 1046 35 35 0 0 73095 54535 4420 14140 15769 12222 1489 2058 0 0 0 0 85750 63435 13116 9199 593 492 21 80 0 0 0 0 7865 1750 843 5272 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1918 1918 0 0 17980 12896 4982 102 Taxes, Licenses & Fees 6229 0 6229 0 Program Fees & Supplies 782 782 0 0 Charitable donation 2440 0 2440 0 837860 640810 97575 99475 230202 688642 0 229511 0 0 0 17953 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15127 13840 9590 5115 6393 4475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21916 21916 273638 976337 4196 6044 0 0 6135 0 0 0 0 0 10000 0 0 0 0 0 23560 129427 43891 135471 X 229747 840866 0 0 229747 840866 273638 976337 611119 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 116030 361830 518936 950174 1946970 0 116030 361830 518936 950174 1946970 113646 1833324 48 276 59 75221 75604 2022574 933324 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9590 5115 4475 0 0 0 0 4475 0 Payroll Protection Program Loan 96902 Subleasee security deposit 5899 Vacation accrual 26626 129427 Form 990, Part III, Line 2 We hired a social worker and have more actively provided case management services to Oasis clients.
