The National Network
Terra Firma National (TFN), a nonprofit 501(c)(3), is the first and only organization in the U.S. dedicated to building and supporting a national network of programs that integrate medical, legal, and mental health services for immigrant children and families.
Founded in the South Bronx in 2013, the Terra Firma model has been nationally recognized for its pioneering approach to embedding immigration legal services within a community health center.
TFN is scaling this proven model by expanding its network of Terra Firma programs, which provide a medical home, defend legal rights, and serve as a critical social safety net for vulnerable immigrant children and families.
