Who We Are

The Phoenix Legal Action Network (PLAN) works in solidarity with the local immigrant community to reimagine justice in Arizona. We are a small and growing nonprofit organization that has been providing free immigration legal services to keep families together and stop deportations since 2018. In 2025, we expanded into housing justice including eviction defense. We also understand that legal services, while important, do not change the laws and systems that oppress and exclude immigrant communities. In recognition of these limitations, PLAN partners with local immigrant-led organizations to build community power and democratize legal information. And we use storytelling to push back against anti-immigrant sentiment. Learn more about us atwww.planphx.org.

The Position:PLAN is looking for a strong housing advocate to lead our Housing Justice Pilot. The ideal candidate is committed to equity and justice and centering the experiences of the immigrant clients and communities we work with. This is a one-year funded position, and PLAN is committed to working proactively to secure ongoing funding and transition this into a permanent role.
