We have provided all of the Maine Free Public Assistance and programs.

Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project     (207)780-1593 PO Box 17917 Portland, ME 04112 website: http://www.ilapmaine.org ILAP is Maine's only nonprofit provider of free and low-fee immigration legal aid to low-income Maine residents. ILAP also works with the public, with service providers, with community leaders and with policy makers to educate them about legal issues unique to noncitizens in order to improve the well-being of immigrants living in Maine. By strengthening immigrants and their families, ILAP's work enhances the economic, cultural, and political landscape in Maine.
Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Inc.      P.O.Box 547 Portland, ME 04112 website: http://www.ptla.org Pine Tree Legal Assistance was founded to provide high quality legal services at no charge to meet the most serious civil legal problems facing low-income Mainers.  Its doors first opened in 1967.
York County Community Action Corp.     (207)324-5762 6 Spruce St Sanford, ME 04073 website: http://www.yccac.org YCCAC was founded more than 35 years ago as a result of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Through our work, we seek to eliminate the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty. We achieve our mission by creating the opportunity for our clients to develop long term assets, whether tangible (e.g., through home ownership programs) or intangible (e.g., through educational and health services). For those who have the potential to become financially self sufficient, we offer advocacy, training, transitional services, and income support. For those whose ability to increase income through wages is limited (i.e., the elderly and people with disabilities), we offer assistance to pay for basics such as housing, heat and utilities, and food supplements.
