  • CAM (Central American Minors) Parolee Resource Guide Maryland
    CAM (Central American Minors) Parolee Resource Guide Maryland Important Notes: This resource guide was prepared for advocates who assist CAM parolees. This guide provides a general overview of the types of benefits that CAM parolees may qualify for and locates helpful resources and services within each region. It is not an exhaustive guide. Particular circumstances of a client (e.g., pregnancy, HIV/AIDs, domestic violence, etc.) may qualify them for additional benefits that are not covered in this overview. This guide also includes references to “undocumented individuals” in case it is relevant to the CAM parolees’ other family members. To be clear, CAM parolees and their parent(s) are “documented.” CAM parolees have status under INA § 212(d)(5), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5) (discretionary parole for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit”) and at least one of their parents must have had status (e.g., Temporary Protective Status/TPS or Lawful Permanent Resident/LPR, etc. ) to have been eligible for the CAM program. Information in this resource guide is not intended as, nor should it be considered, legal advice. Information in this guide is subject to change and should be verified with state and local agencies to ensure accuracy. That an organization, agency, or a program is listed in this resource guide does not imply an endorsement by either IRAP or IRC. About CAM Parolees and this Guide CAM parolees are minors from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who had a parent lawfully present in the United States, and who, while still in their home country, applied for the Central American Minors (CAM) program to be considered for refugee resettlement in the United States.

  • ",R FROM: Jeffrey L
    AGENDA ITEM #7 May 20,2010 Public Hearing MEMORANDUM May 18,2010 TO: County Council ",r FROM: Jeffrey L. Zyontz, Legislative Attorney·~~)L; SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Zoning Text Amendment 10-04, C-2 Zone - Automobile Filling Stations On March 16,2010 Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) 10-04 was introduced by the District Council at the request of the County Executive. The ZTA would allow an automobile filling station as a permitted use in the C-2 zone if it is in a regional shopping center. Currently, filling stations are allowed in the C-2 zone only through the special exception process. The Executive believes that this ZTA would: 1) allow regional shopping centers to better meet the needs of their customers by enabling them to provide a broader range of services on site; 2) stimulate the revitalization of our shopping centers that are located in the C-2 zone; and 3) encourage additional capital investment in the County's shopping malls. The public hearing on ZTA 10-04 was initially scheduled for April 20, 2010, but the Council announced continuance of the hearing to May 20, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. before the public hearing was held on April 20. The Planning Staff report provided the following background: ZT A 10-04, if approved, . would have immediate application at Westfield Wheaton Shopping Center; Westfield Montgomery Mall; and White Flint Mall. The White Flint Mall is located within the White Flint Sector Plan where, under the recently approved sector plan, the shopping mall would be rezoned from the C-2 zone to the newly adopted CR zone.
