GOOD\nAFTERNOON, COLLEAGUES, THIS IS A\nSPECIAL LIBRARY, EDUCATION, AND\nNEIGHBORHOOD COMMITTEE MEETING.\nOR REGULARLY MEETINGS HAD BEEN\nUSED FOR THE RENEWAL OF SEATTLE\nPUBLIC LIBRARY LEVEE RR, I\nWANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON\nTHE VERY IMPORTANT $4 MILLION\nINVESTMENT GIVEN TO A WIRE ON\nTHE 2026 BUDGET, IN SUPPORT OF\nOUR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE\nCOMMUNITY IN TOWN. DIRECTOR CUC\nVU IS HERE TO LET US KNOW HOW\nTHE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE\nIMPLEMENTED IN SUPPORT OF\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITY\nMEMBERS. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE\nTHE GREAT WORK IN GENERAL THEY\nHAVE BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS,\nNOT JUST NOW, FOR THE IMMIGRANT\nCOMMUNITY. FOR THE RECORD, I\nHAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING\nWITH DIRECTOR VU ALL THE WAY\nBACK TO ABOUT 2018 OR 2019,\nDIRECTOR. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO\nHAVE HER BACK AT THE CITY, AT\nTHE HELM ONCE AGAIN. I KNOW HER\nCOMMITMENT TO OUR IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE RESIDENTS IN THE CITY, I\nREALLY APPRECIATE HER WORK. SO\nLUCKY TO GET TO WORK WITH HER\nAGAIN. WE HAVE SPOKEN, AND WHILE\nWE HAVE NOT SEEN THE SURGE THAT\nWE SAW IN MINNEAPOLIS HERE IN\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE SEEN AN\nINCREASE IN I.C.E ACTIVITY,\nWHILE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL\nHAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, WE DON'T\nWANT TO INSTILL FEAR IN FOLKS,\nBECAUSE THAT IS THE POINT,\nRIGHT? THE CURRENT\nADMINISTRATION CLEARLY WANTS\nFOLKS TO LIVE IN FEAR. I NEVER\nWANT TO BE MONGERING OR ADD\nSTRESS TO WHAT IS ALREADY A\nSTRESSFUL TIME FOR IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE FOLKS IN TOWN. IT IS OUR\nJOB AS COUNCIL MEMBERS AND\nELECTED OFFICIALS AND AS THE\nCITY OF SEATTLE, TO REALLY HELP\nKEEP OUR PEOPLE CALM AND WE WANT\nTO MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT OUR\nCOMMUNITIES WHEN WE ARE--\nINSTEAD OF OPERATING IN A CHAOS\nSITUATION, AND THAT IS THE POINT\nOF OUR INVESTMENTS IS TO REALLY\nHELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES AND\nPROVIDE COMFORT AND SECURITY. I\nAM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO\nHEARING ABOUT THE INVESTMENT AND\nHOW IT IS GETTING IMPLEMENTED.\nTHE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT, WHICH\nIS AN ONGOING INVESTMENT, BY THE\nWAY, WAS DELINEATED BY COUNCIL\nACTION TO DO THE FOLLOWING, TO\nADDRESS BACKFILL FOR FEDERAL\nBUDGET CUTS, AND ALSO JUST RAPID\nRESPONSE, LEGAL DEFENSE, WHICH\nTHE DEPARTMENT ALREADY PROVIDES,\nIMMIGRANT INTEGRATION AND\nCITIZENSHIP SUPPORT, WHICH IS\nDEPARTMENT ALREADY PROVIDES AS\nWELL, ADULT IMMIGRANT WORKFORCE\nDEVELOPMENT, AND READY TO WORK,\nWHICH THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN\nDOING FOR MANY YEARS NOW,\nIMMIGRANT YOUTH CAREER PATHWAY\nPROGRAMS, IMMIGRANT SAFETY\nACCESS NETWORK, AND ETHNIC MEDIA\nAND TRANSLATION AND COMMUNITY\nADVISORS AND THE STAFFING\nNEEDING TO SUPPORT THE\nFUNCTIONS, TEMPORARY STAFFING\nNEEDED, TO SCALE UP THE WORK,\nBECAUSE THIS IS NORMALLY IT IS,\nWOULD HAVE BEEN $6 MILLION\nDEPARTMENT IS NOW A $10 WITH THE\nNEW MONEY, SO YOU ARE ABLE TO DO\nMORE. THE REASON WHY I AM\nPOINTING THAT OUT IS BECAUSE ANY\nTIME A DEPARTMENT GETS THIS SIZE\nOF PERCENTAGE INCREASE, I WANT\nTO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE\nDEPARTMENT THEN HAS TO TURN\nAROUND AND BE ABLE TO SCALE UP\nTHEIR OPERATIONS TO MEET THAT\nEXTRA FUNDING AND THAT TAKES\nTIME. SO I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO\nACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ISN'T\nSOMETHING THAT YOU COULD TURN\nAROUND OVERNIGHT, BECAUSE THIS\nIS A LOT MORE THAN YOU ARE\nUSUALLY MANAGING FOR, IN TERMS\nOF A BUDGET. SO, THAT IS\nIMPORTANT HERE TO NOTE, AND IT\nALWAYS TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF\nTIME. AND THEN I REALLY WANT TO,\nALSO, COLLEAGUES, APOLOGIES FOR\nNOT GETTING THE SLIDE DECK\nSOONER. WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO GET\nMATERIAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.\nTHERE WAS SOME LAST-MINUTE WORK\nON THE PRESENTATION BUT I\nDIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP THE\nMEETING TODAY BECAUSE I KNOW THE\nDEPARTMENT IS DOING GREAT WORK,\nSO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE\nCOULD GET YOU THE BRIEFING,\nSOONER RATHER THAN LATER, BUT\nTHAT MEANT YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE\nMATERIALS UNTIL A LITTLE EARLIER\nTODAY AND FOR THAT I DO\nAPOLOGIZE AND I THANK YOU FOR\nYOUR GRACE SO LETS GET INTO THE\nPRESENTATION, DIRECTOR VU, YOU\nCAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE\nRECORD. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU\nBEING HERE. COLLEAGUES, IF YOU\nHAVE QUESTIONS, I WILL LOOK OUT\nFOR YOUR HANDS. YOU CAN GO AHEAD\nAND ASK QUESTIONS AS WE GO\nALONG, BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF\nINFORMATION AND A LOT OF GREAT\nWORK AND LOT OF PIECES TO THIS\nAND WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL\nTHE END. GO AHEAD, DIRECTOR VU.\nTHANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, THANK\nYOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS LINN AND\nFOSTER AND RINCK FOR JOINING US\nTODAY. I AM THE ACTING DIRECTOR\nOF THE CITY OF SEATTLE OFFICE OF\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE AFFAIRS,\nHERE TODAY TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE\nON OFFICE $4 MILLION EXPANDED\nINVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AS THE\nCHAIR REFERENCED THIS REPRESENTS\nA SIGNIFICANT INCREASE TO THE\nBUDGET, AND WE HAVE LOT OF\nTHANKS TO COMMUNITY ADVOCACY,\nBUT ALSO SUPPORT FROM CITY\nCOUNCIL. THESE ADDITIONAL\nRESOURCES WILL ALLOW US TO\nCONTINUE SUPPORTING THE MOUNTING\nCHALLENGES FACING IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE COMMUNITIES TODAY. FOR\nFOLKS WHO ARE NEW TO OUR\nODDGENCE, THE MISSION OF OIRA IS\nIMPROVE THE LIVES OF SEATTLE'S\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEES BY\nWELCOMING POLICIES, PROVIDING\nSERVICE AND PROGRAM THAT PROMOTE\nTHE WELL BEING, AND DOING\nCOMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INCLUDING\nETHNIC MEDIA PROGRAM. I WANT TO\nSTART, FIRST, WITH LOOKING AT\nTHE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BUDGET\nAD, AND NEEDING TO MAKE SURE\nTHAT WE NOT ONLY MOVE QUICKLY,\nBUT ALSO DO IT IN THE RIGHT WAY\nTHAT REFLECTS COMMUNITY NEED, SO\nWE HAVE DONE A LOT OF COMMUNITY\nFEEDBACK, LOOKED AT DATA AND\nRESEARCH, AND ALL OF THAT TO\nREFLECT COUNCIL'S DIRECTIVE TO\nUS, MITIGATE IMPACT OF FEDERAL\nFUNDING LOST AND EXPAND AND\nCREATE NEW PROGRAMMING TO\nSUPPORT IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE\nCOMMUNITIES INCLUDING LEVEL\nSERVICE, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT,\nOUTREACH, AND COMMUNITY\nNAVIGATION SERVICES AND OTHER\nCRITICAL PROGRAMS. I AM GOING TO\nSTART WITH THIS TABLE HERE, I\nHAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE A\nHIGH-LEVAL RESPONSE AND WE WANT\nTO DRILL DOWN IN THE DETAILS,\nWHICH I KNOW YOU ARE INTERESTED\nIN, SO WE START, FIRST, WITH THE\nINVESTMENT AREAS, WHICH ARE\nREMOVAL DEFENSE, I WANT TO MOVE\nQUICKLY THROUGH THIS AND SPEND A\nLITTLE BIT OF TIME AND GIVING\nYOU MORE DETAILED INFORMATION\nABOUT WHICH EACH OF THESE\nINVESTMENT AREAS LOOKS LIKE. FOR\nREMOVAL DEFENSE, WE HAVE A\nPROPOSED INVESTMENT OF $1.25\nMILLION IN COMMUNITY GRANTS WE\nHAVE $280,000, AND IF THERE IS A\nSURGE IN 2026, THAT WILL\nDEFINITELY IMPACT WHAT THIS\nINVESTMENT LOOKS LIKE FOR 2027.\nWE HAVE A CATEGORY TO SUPPORT\nBUSINESSES, WORKERS, AND SOCIAL\nPROVIDERS, AT AN AMOUNT\n$500,000, WE HAVE $250,000 FOR\nCOMMUNITY RESPONSE FOR DETAINED\nFAMILIES, AND THEN ADDITIONAL\nINVESTMENT AREAS THAT ARE\nIMPACTING BY FEDERAL FUNDING\nCUTS, FOR EXAMPLE, LEGAL\nORIENTATION PROGRAM THERE THAT\nWORK IS DONE EXCLUSIVELY BY THE\nNORTHWEST IMMIGRANT RIGHTS\nPROJECT AT THE TACOMA DETENTION\nCENTER, $538,000 FUNDING WAS CUT\nTHERE, OUR PROPOSAL IS CONTINUE\n$140,000, THE MOUNT THAT IS PRO\nRATED FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF\nDETAINEES WHO HAVE DIRECT\nSEATTLE TIE, WHICH IS 25%.\nFEDERAL NATURALIZATION FUNDING\nCUTS, IN SEATTLE, WAS\nAPPROXIMATELY $675,000, AND THIS\nAMOUNT REFLECTS CITIZENSHIP\nINTEGRATION GRANTS, LOST FOR\nSEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS SERVING\nPEOPLE WITH SEATTLE TIE,\nINCLUDING ACRS, REWALLET,\nNEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE, THIS TOTAL\nINTEGRATION GRANTS LOST OVERALL\nIS MORE THAN $1 MILLION PER\nYEAR, OUR PROPOSAL IS TO FUND\nTHESE CUTS FOR NATURALIZATION\n$200,000 FOR THIS YEAR, AS WE\nKEEP MOVING TO CUTS TO FEDERAL\nFUNDS FOR ESL, OUR ESTIMATE WAS\nAPPROXIMATELY $800,000 OF\nFEDERAL FUNDS WERE CUT AFFECTING\nMOSTLY OUR SEATTLE COLLEGES, AND\nWE DID RECEIVE RECORDING FROM\nNORTH AND CENTRAL SEATTLE\nCOLLEGES, AND ARE AWAITING ON\nINFORMATION FROM SOUTH SEATTLE\nCOLLEGE, I EXPECT THE $800,000\nESTIMATE WAS MUCH HIGHER, WHICH\nREPRESENTS LOST CATASPY FOR\nSERVING COMMUNITY NEEDS, SO OUR\nPROPOSAL TO SUPPORT THIS WORK AT\n$655,000 GETS US CLOSER, BUT NOT\nA COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE\nFEDERAL DOLLARS CUT. EMERGENCY\nASSISTANCE, LEVERAGING $300,000\nINVESTMENT, WE WILL PARTNER WITH\nSEATTLE FOUNDATION, THEY HAVE A\nGOAL TO MATCH OR EXCEED THE\nAMOUNT. AS YOU KNOW, OUR OFFICE\nIS DOING THE LANGUAGE ACCESS\nWORK AND LANGUAGE JUSTICE, IF\nYOU WILL, ETHNIC MEDIA BUDGET\n$75,000 TO $125,000 TO MAKE SURE\nWE ARE ABLE TO REACH AS MANY\nAUDIENCE AS POSSIBLE AND TO\nINVOLVE OUR IMPORTANT PARTNERS\nIN ETHNIC MEDIA, $300,000 TO\nTEMPORARY STAFFING. THE\nLEGISLATION APPROVES FOR THREE\nPOSITIONS, TWO STRATEGIC\nADVISOR, ONE GENERAL GOVERNMENT\nPOSITIONS AND ONE CONTRACT AND\nGRANT SPECIALIST. WE DO NOT NEED\nTHE GRANTS AND CONTRACT\nSPECIALIST ROLE BECAUSE WE HAVE\nTHE ABILITY TO ABSORB THAT\nADDITIONAL WORK, BUT WE WILL\nREQUEST ONE STRATEGIC ADVISOR,\nONE POSITION, AND THAT POSITION\nWILL FUND SET AT THE END OF THE\nYEAR. SO, I WANT TO ADD THAT,\nAND THEN JUST STEP BACK FOR A\nMOMENT HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW WE\nARRIVED AT THOSE INVESTMENT\nAREAS AND AMOUNTS AND GROUNDED\nIN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE THAT WE\nSAW, WHICH IS WE DID A LOT OF\nLISTENING OVER, BEGINNING FROM\nTHE TIME THAT THE NEW WHITE\nHOUSE TOOK PLACE, AND WE KNEW\nTHERE WOULD BE A LOT OF\nIMMIGRATION ACTIVITY, SO WE\nCONVENED OUR LEGAL PROGRAMS AND\nDID A SURVEY FOR BOTH LEGAL\nDEFENSE AND NATURALIZATION\nPARTNERS IN MAY OF 2025 AND DID\nANOTHER IN MARCH OF 2026, SAME\nFOR ESR AND WORKFORCE EDUCATION,\nSURVEY IN-PERSON CONVENING, JULY\n2025, AND MARCH OF 2026, RAPID\nRESPONSE, THAT WAS AN ONFWOEING\nDISCUSSION, BECAUSE IF YOU\nRECALL, THE ENFORCEMENT ACTION\nSTARTED IMMEDIATELY IN 2025, AND\nTHAT BODY OF WORK WAS CRITICAL\nFOR US TO STAND UP AS QUICKLY AS\nPOSSIBLE. WE DID ONE-ON-ONE\nENGAGEMENT WITH MY PREDECESSOR,\nDIRECTOR, 23 COMMUNITY PARTNERS,\nWHICH EITHER CONTINUE TO DO IN\nMY RETURN TO THE CITY, AND AS\nTHE MAYOR KATIE WILSON'S\nADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN\nLEADERSHIP, THEY FELT IT WAS\nIMPORTANT TO ALSO BE GROUNDED IN\nTHE LISTENING AND LEARNING FROM\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE\nCOMMUNITIES AND THE MAYOR AND\nHER STAFF HELD A ROUND TABLE\nFEBRUARY 2026, WE TOOK\nINFORMATION FROM HER TRANSITION\nTEAM WITH, THAT DID TWO\nLISTENING SESSIONS AND A SURVEY,\nANOTHER ETHNIC MEDIA ROUND TABLE\nIN MARCH OF 2026, AND THEN\nREALLY SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATIONS\nWE HAVE DONE WITH PEER\nJURISDICTIONS IN BOSTON, DENVER,\nMINNEAPOLIS, SAN JOSE. CHICAGO\nAND MINNEAPOLIS HAD A LOT OF\nIMPORTANT LESSONS TO SHARE. SO\nWHAT DID WE LEARN? I WANT TO\nREFLECT, FIRST, ON THE NUMBER\nONE PRIORITY THAT STOOD OUT\nTHROUGH ALL OF THE ENGAGEMENT\nTHAT WE DID, AND FOR GOOD\nREASON, WE SAW FEDERAL POLICY\nCHANGES THAT LED TO SIGNIFICANT\nDELAYS IN IMMIGRATION PROCESSES,\nAND NEW BARRIERS PREVENTING\nIMMIGRANTS IN SEATTLE FROM\nACCESSING THINGS THAT WERE NOT\nSO HARD TO DO BEFORE, SUCH AS\nGETTING WORK PERMITS, OR\nAPPLYING FOR A ASYLUM OR\nAPPLYING FOR GREEN CARD,\nBECOMING A U.S. CITIZEN AND\nBENEFITS THAT COME WITH\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE STATUS,\nBUT THOSE INCREASE REQUESTS FOR\nLEGAL ASSISTANCE IMMIGRATION\nINFORMATION, DUE TO HEIGHTENED\nCOMMUNITY CONCERNS, ABOUT\nIMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TACTICS.\nWE SEE MAPPED OUT SEATTLE\nSUBDIVISION, 14,290 CASES IN\nIMMIGRATION COURT WITH ABOUT\n6,266 THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY AN\nIMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AND\nAPPROXIMATELY 8,000 WITHOUT\nREPRESENTATION, SO EFFECTIVELY,\nALMOST 60% OF THE CASES HAVE NO\nLEGAL REPRESENTATION. THE DATA\nSHOWS, ALSO, THAT BETWEEN 2024\nAND 2025, ACCORDING TO SEATTLE\nTIMES ARTICLE DATED MARCH 11th,\nWE SAW AN INCREASE OF 152% IN\nENFORCEMENT ALONG WITH INCREASED\nCHALLENGES FOR COMMUNICATION\nWITH DETAINED INDIVIDUALS AND ON\nTUESDAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO\nSIT WITH A COALITION CALLED HOT\nPOT FOR ALL, WHICH IS A GROUP OF\nORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE MOSTLY\nSEEING SOUTHEAST ASIAN\nIMMIGRANTS, BUT MANY OF THOSE\nCOME AS REFUGEES AND THAT\nCOMMUNITY HAS SEEN A DEVASTATING\nTOLL IN DEPORTATIONS THAT\nHAPPENED VERY QUICKLY, SO IT IS\nNOT JUST OUR MEMBERS WHO HAVE NO\nDOCUMENTATION, IT IS MEMBERS OF\nOUR COMMUNITIES WHO ARE HERE\nWITH STATUS, AND WHO ARE BEING\nDEPORTED AND NOT ABLE TO SEE\nTHEIR FAMILIES OR COMMUNICATE\nWITH THEM. AND WHAT IS\nSIGNIFICANT ABOUT THIS IS THAT\n929 ARRESTS WERE CARRIED OUT IN\n2024, AMONG WASHINGTON COUNTIES,\nKING COUNTY SAW THE HIGHEST\nNUMBER OF ARRESTS LAST YEAR WITH\n1,030 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, AND\nNEARLY HALF OF THE KING COUNTY\nARRESTS, 470, WERE IN SEATTLE,\nWHICH, TO ME, DEBUNKS THE IDEA\nTHAT SEATTLE IS SAFE FROM I.C.E\nENFORCEMENT. THAT IS NOT TRUE\nWHEN WE LOOK AT THE DATA.\nI WILL SAY, DIRECTOR VU, I\nWILL TAKE THE MINUTE NOW TO SAY\nTHAT THIS TRACKS WITH WHAT WE\nHEARD LAST YEAR FROM IMMIGRANT\nORGANIZATIONS, DEFENSE\nORGANIZATIONS, WHERE THE FEDERAL\nFUNDING WAS GETTING CUT, AND\nTHIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF\nCONCERN FOR THE COUNCIL, SO THIS\nLEGAL PIECE IS REALLY IMPORTANT,\nAND THE POINT THAT OUR IMMIGRANT\nPOPULATION, THE ONE WHOSE ARE\nHERE, DOCUMENTED OR EXPERIENCING\nISSUES TOO, NOT JUST THE ONES\nTHAT ARE HERE UNDOCUMENTED, SO,\nEVERYONE IS IN NEED OF LEGAL\nDEFENSE RIGHT NOW, SO THAT IS AN\nIMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE. I\nDON'T THINK THAT ANYONE THINKS\nSEATTLE, THERE HAS BEEN AN\nUPTICK IN SEATTLE, WE HAVEN'T\nSEEN QUITE THE SAME SURGE AS\nCHICAGO AND MINNEAPOLIS,\nTHANKFULLY, AND, AGAIN, WE\nDON'T KNOW WHAT IS TO COME IN\nTHE FUTURE, BUT I DON'T THINK\nANYONE DOESN'T KNOW AT THIS\nPOINT, THAT FOLKS ARE GETTING\nPICKED UP IN SEATTLE. THERE IS\nAN INCREASE. WE HAVE SEEN THAT.\nTHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE. THANK\nYOU.\nWHEN&WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING,\nAND THE LEGAL DEFENSE RISING AS\nNUMBER ONE PRIORITY, WE HEARD\nLOT OF OTHER NEEDS, SO THESE, I\nWANTED TO TOUCH ON THESE\nADDITIONAL PRIORITIES, WE HEARD\nTHAT-- AND WE HAVE SEEN\nSIGNIFICANT CUTS IN FEDERAL\nFUNDING TO IMMIGRATION PROGRAMS,\nESL, WE HAVE SEEN THEY ARE\nDEEPLY AFRAID OF BEING TARGETED\nBY ENFORCEMENT AND THE IMPACT OF\nTHAT IS THAT IT IS AFFECTING\nPEOPLE'S SELF SUFFICIENCY, THEY\nARE AFRAID TO GO TO WORK\nSOMETIMES. AND WHEN THERE IS\nLACK OF INCOME, THAT IMPACTS\nTHEIR BOTTOM LINE TO AFFORD\nBASIC NEEDS.\nWE ARE SENDING KIDS TO: WE ARE SENDING KIDS TO\nSCHOOL, TOO, DIRECTOR, WE HAVE\nHEARD A LOT. I KNOW SPS IS DOING\nA LOT OF WORK THERE.\nADDITIONAL PRIORITIES: ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES\nINCLUDESMALL COMMUNITY-BASED\nORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE TELLING\nUS THAT THEY NEED RESOURCES TO\nSUPPORT RESIDENTS AND WORKERS\nAND WHILE WE KNOW THESE STORIES\nOF ENFORCEMENT AT A NATIONAL\nLEVEL, OR EVEN REGIONAL LEVEL,\nIT REALLY DRILLS DOWN, ALSO, TO\nFIGURE AT A HYPERLOCAL LEVEL AND\nPEOPLE FEEL A NEED TO SUPPORT\nTHEIR NEIGHBORS. WE ALSO HEARD\nTHERE IS A NEED FOR EXPANDED\nLEGAL CONSULTATIONS, SAFETY\nPLANNING AND RESPONSE TO\nPROTOCOLS ACROSS BUSINESS\nCOMMUNITIES, WORKERS, AND\nIMMIGRANT SERVING PROVIDERS SUCH\nAS FOOD BANKS. THAT IS GENERAL\nOVERVIEW OF WHAT WE HAVE HEARD,\nAND I WANT TO BEGIN NOW, GIVING\nYOU A LITTLE MORE DETAILS ABOUT\nTHIS EXPANDED INVESTMENT\nPORTFOLIO, AND WE ARE GOING TO\nSTART, FIRST, WITH THE TOP TWO,\nWHAT YOU SEE HERE, LEGAL REMOVAL\nDEFENSE AND SMALL COMMUNITY\nGRANTS, BECAUSE THESE WERE THE\nONES THAT WERE THE MOST URGENT\nIN TERMS OF STANDING UP AND\nREFLECTING WHAT WE HEARD AS\nPRIORITIES. SO, WITH THE REMOVAL\nDEFENSE, THIS TOUCHES OUR LEGAL\nDEFENSE NETWORK, LDN, AND\nNEEDING TO EXPAND THAT AND WE\nARE GOING TO DO THAT THROUGH AN\nRFP PROCESS, SO THIS PROGRAM\nPROVIDES LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO\nLOW INCOME IMMIGRANT WHOSE ARE\nIN DETENTION, FACING REMOVAL, OR\nIN DANGER OF LOSS BECAUSE OF\nTHEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. SO I\nWANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT\nABOUT WHAT THE FUNDING DETAILS\nARE, AND THIS IS AVAILABLE\nTHROUGH RFP, I AM HAPPY TO MAKE\nIT AVAILABLE TO OTHER COUNCIL\nMEMBERS IF THEY WOULD LIKE. THE\nTOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE ARE UP TO\nAN ADDITIONAL $1.25 MILLION. THE\nCONTRACT PERIOD BEGINS JUNE 1,\nAND THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF 2026,\nTHIS RFP HAS ALREADY BEEN\nRELEASED, AND THE SUBMISSION\nDEADLINE IS 5:00 P.M. APRIL\n24th. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS MUST\nBE A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION\nWITH THE 501C3 STATUS, MUST HAVE\nOFFICES LOCATED WITHIN SEATTLE\nKING COUNTY, AND HAVE AT LEAST\nONE FULLY ACCREDITED DOJ REP OR\nLICENSE ATTORNEY WITH AT LEAST\nTWO YEARS EXPERIENCE PROVIDING\nREMOVAL DEFENSE SERVICES, AND\nTHEY MUST BE COMMITTED TO OFFING\nREMOVAL DEFENSE SERVICES FOR AT\nLEAST THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THAT\nIS A VERY HIGH BAR, BUT ONE THAT\nIS NECESSARY, BECAUSE THE CASES\nARE TAKING A LONG TIME AND THEY\nNEED TO RELY ON REPRESENTATION\nFOR THE DURATION OF THEIR CASE,\nAND ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS MUST BE\nABLE TO COMMENCE FULL PROPOSED\nSERVICES WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF\nTHE CONTRACT EXECUTION.\nDIRECTOR VU, CAN YOU ALSO--\nAND I KNOW PART OF THIS IS\nINSURING THAT THESE\nORGANIZATIONS ARE SERVICING\nEITHER RESIDENTS OR SEATTLE OR\nFOLKS THAT HAVE A NEXUS TO,\nTHERE HAS TO BE A NEXUS TO\nSEATTLE.\nYES, THANK YOU FOR REMINDING\nME. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE\nREQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR\nINDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A TIE TO\nSEATTLE, AND THAT MEANS LIVE,\nWORK, OR GO TO SCHOOL HERE,\nPOSSIBLY RECEIVE SERVICES HERE\nAS WELL. AND BECAUSE THIS IS A\nSIGNIFICANT PROGRAM, WE WANT TO\nBE TRANSPARENT WHAT THE OUTCOMES\nARE. THERE IS FULL\nREPRESENTATION WITH ADDITIONAL\nINVESTMENT FOR CASE LOAD OF 500,\nWHICH DOUBLES THE CURRENT\nCASELOAD OF 250, AND THAT\nINCLUDES UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN,\nOUT OF THE 250 CASES CURRENTLY,\nTHERE IS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT\nTO A HUNDRED DERIVATIVES, WHICH\nIS FAMILY MEMBERS. WE ALSO,\nTHROUGH THIS PROGRAM, PROVIDE\nCRITICAL QUALIFIED IMMIGRATION\nATTORNEY SERVICES FOR CASES\nTHROUGH THE VERY COMPLEX AND\nOFTEN LENGTHY IMMIGRATION\nPROCESS.\nDIRECTOR VU, WOULD YOU PLEASE\nSHARE WITH US THE-- I WOULD LOVE\nTO PUT IN OUR NEWS LETTERS THAT\nRFP, SO FOLKS KNOW IT IS OPEN\nAND THEY CAN APPLY. I AM HAPPY,\nEVEN THOUGH I KNOW WE WOULD ALL\nDO SO, SPEAK, I SEE COUNCIL\nMEMBER LINN GIVING ME THE THUMBS\nUP. WE WOULD LOVE TO GET THE\nINFORMATION OUT WIDELY SO IF YOU\nSHARE THE RFP DETAILS, WE WILL\nPUT IT IN OUR COMMUNICATIONS TO\nOUR CONSTITUENTS. THAT WOULD BE\nGREAT. THANKS SO MUCH. PART OF\nTHIS, ON THE OUTCOMES PIECE, THE\nCASE LOAD, THESE ARE ALL GOALS,\nOF COURSE, AND WITH THE ULTIMATE\nOUTCOME OF FOLKS IN THE\nCOMMUNITY BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE\nPROCESS, WE WOULD LEARN TO HEAR\nHOW MANY FOLKS WE WERE ABLE TO\nHELP IN TOWN.\nWE DO COLLECT QUARTERLY: WE DO COLLECT QUARTERLY\nREPORTS, SO I AM HAPPY TO SHARE\nTHOSE WITH ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS\nWHO ARE INTERESTED.\nTHAT WOULD BE GREAT. I THINK\nIT GOES TO JUST, IT WOULD\nALLEVIATE OUR CONCERNS, SOME OF\nOUR CONCERNS, NOT FULLY, IT IS\nREALLY GREAT TO HEAR THAT WE\nWERE ABLE TO BE HELPFUL, I GUESS\nIS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.\nYES, ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN DO\nTHAT.\nANOTHER AREA I WANT TO: ANOTHER AREA I WANT TO\nHIGHLIGHT, WHICH WE SENT AN\nANNOUNCEMENT THROUGH RFP, IF YOU\nHAVE NOT HEARD IT, WE WILL\nFOLLOW UP AND PROVIDE\nINFORMATION ON THIS, THESE ARE\nONE-TIME CONTRACTS WITH\nCOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS TO OFFER\nRESOURCES, EDUCATION, AND TOOLS\nTO EMPOWER COMMUNITIES IN\nSEATTLE. SO, THE ACCEPTABLE\nACTIVITIES TO BE FUNDED INCLUDE\nCOMMUNITY AIDE FOR BASIC NEEDS,\nTHIS INCLUDES MEAL DELIVERY\nSERVICE, OR ITEMS IN FOOD\nPANTRY, BASIC GOODS SUCH AS BABY\nFORMULA OR DIAPERS, WE DIRECT\nPEOPLE TO ASSIST WITH UTILITIES,\nREST, ASSISTANCE, FOOD. KNOW\nYOUR RIGHT, COMMUNITY\nINFORMATION SESSIONS COULD\nINCLUDE RECENT OR PENDING\nCHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LAW AND\nPOLICY, WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN\nMANY. IT INCLUDES IMMIGRANT\nWORKERS RIGHTS. A THIRD ACTIVITY\nTHIS FUNDING WILL SUPPORT IS\nFAMILY SAFETY PLANNING TYPICALLY\nOFFERED THROUGH WORKSHOPS OR\nCLINICS, AND WITH AN IMMIGRATION\nATTORNEY, WHO HELPS INDIVIDUALS\nAND THEIR FAMILIES CREATE PLANS\nFOR CARE OF CHILDREN. OR,\nRATHER, DEPENDENTS. THEY PROVIDE\nLEGAL PREPARATIONS IN THE EVENT\nOF DETENTION, OR DEPORTATION OF\nA PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN. SOME\nUSED THEIR DISCRETIONARY DOLLARS\nBECAUSE IT IS JUST WHAT WAS\nNEEDED BY COMMUNITY, EL SENT ROW\nIS DOING THAT AND A NUMBER OF\nOTHER ORGANIZATIONS. WE CAN\nLEARN FROM THAT. IN FACT, I HAVE\nRECOMMENDED TO SOME OF OUR ASIAN\nAPI COMMUNITIES TO LEAN INTO THE\nEXPERTISE LATINO COMMUNITIES\nHAVE DEVELOPED. AND THAT IS A\nWAY WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH\nOTHER.\nTHERE WAS A RECENT ARTICLE: THERE WAS A RECENT ARTICLE\nTALKING ABOUT ACROSS THE UNITED\nSTATES, KIDS WHO COME HOME TO\nFIND THEIR PARENTS HAVE BEEN\nDETAINED, AND SO HAVING A FAMILY\nPLAN IN PLACE IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT IT IS VERY SAD, AND\nALSO HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE IS\nREALLY IMPORTANT.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHE FUNDING DETAILS, PRETTY\nSTRAIGHT FORWARD, BECAUSE WE\nMEAN THIS TO BE A BROAD CATEGORY\nFOR THE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES THAT\nTHE CITY DOES NOT CURRENTLY\nSUPPORT, AND THAT OUR INTENTION\nIS TO REACH VERY SMALL\nORGANIZATIONS THAT MANY OF WHICH\nMAY NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE,\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY, WE\nWANT TO MAKE THIS EASY, SO THESE\nWILL BE APPLICATIONS THROUGH\nPDFs AND ONE-ON-ONE PHONE CALLS,\nFOR EXAMPLE, JUST TO DRILL DOWN\nA LITTLE BIT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT\nTHE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES ARE, AND\nTHAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, WILL\nFOLLOW UP, ALSO, WITH ANY\nTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT MAY BE\nNEEDED FOR VERY NEW\nORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH THE\nCITY. THE FUNDING DETAILS ARE\nDESCRIBED HERE, TOTAL FUNDS\nAVAILABLE ARE UP TO $280,000. I\nDO WANT TO SAY THAT WHERE THERE\nMAY BE UNDERSPENDING IN OTHER\nPARTS OF OUR INVESTMENT\nPORTFOLIO, THAT WE HAVE THE\nOPTION TO SHIFT SOME OF THE\nRESOURCES OVER HERE, BECAUSE OUR\nEXPECTATION IS THAT THE NEED IS\nGREATER THAN THE RESOURCES THAT\nWE HAVE. THAT IS TRUE, PROBABLY,\nACROSS EVERY GRANT AREA IN THE\nCITY OF SEATTLE. EACH\nAPPLICATION MAY BE AWARDED UP TO\n$10,000, AND HERE ORGANIZATIONS\nARE STILL ELIGIBLE, EVEN IF THEY\nRECEIVE CITY DOLLARS IN OTHER\nAREAS OR OTHER DEPARTMENTS, SO\nWE WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THE\nAPPLICATION DEADLINE, IT WILL BE\nAPPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON\nA ROLLING BASIS WITH FUNDING\nDECISIONS ANNOUNCED WITHIN SIX\nWEEKS OF APPLICATION SUBMISSION,\nAND THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT\nCOMMUNITIES NEEDED THIS MONEY\nYESTERDAY, SO WE WANT TO MAKE\nTHE RESOURCES AVAILABLE AS\nQUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO\nALLOW FOR ENOUGH TIME TO VARIOUS\nSMALL ORGANIZATIONS TO HAVE A\nCHANCE AND SO WE WILL KEEP THIS\nOPEN FOR AS LONG AS BUDGET IS\nAVAILABLE, OR UNTIL FUNDS ARE\nEXHAUSTED. THE CONTRACT PERIOD\nFOR THIS IS THROUGH THIS\nCALENDAR YEAR . THIS IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT THAT ELIGIBILITY IS\nCONTINGENT ON A NON-PROFIT\nHAVING 501C3 STATUS, OR THEY MAY\nPARTNER WITH A FISCAL SPONSOR\nWITH THE 501C3 STAT, BUT IN ANY\nCASE, MUST SERVE PEOPLE WITH A\nSEATTLE TIE. I DO WANT TO\nEMPHASIZE, NOT ON A SLIDE, BUT\nIT IS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE\nTHAT THIS PROGRAM CANNOT FUND\nANY PROJECTS THAT ACTIVELY, OR\nUNLAWFULLY, OBSTRUCT OR\nINTERFERE WITH FEDERAL\nIMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. WE\nCANNOT FUND LEGAL A VICE NOT\nPRESENTED BY AN ACCREDITED\nATTORNEY OR PROVIDE CASH\nASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALSISM\nTHAT IS SPELLED OUT IN THE RFP\nBUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO\nCONVEY THAT TO YOU ALL AS WELL.\nTHANK YOU, DIRECTOR. AND\nTHEN, JUST WANT TO MENTION,\nBECAUSE A LOT OF FOLKS AREN'T\nFAMILIAR WITH THE FISCAL SPONSOR\nSET UP, SOME ARE, SOME AREN'T,\nPARTICULARLY THE PEOPLE\nWATCHING, BUT FOR THESE\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, IF THEY ARE\nNOT 501C3 ORGANIZATION, THEY\nDON'T HAVE THINGS SET UP TO\nRECEIVE FUNDS, SO TYPICALLY,\nTHEN YOU WORK THROUGH A FISCAL\nSPONSOR THAT IS 501C3 AND THEY\nKNOW HOW TO HELP WITH THE\nAPPLICATIONS TO THE CITY AND ALL\nTHE PEOPLE WORK AND ON THE BACK\nEND, THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO\nSUBMIT IN ORDER TO THEN GET THE\nGRANTS, AND THEN ALL THE\nREPORTING, 501C3 FISCAL SPONSOR\nTHEN HELPS WITH THE REPORTING.\nTHAT IS RIGHT: THAT IS RIGHT.\nJUST SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THAT: JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THAT\nIS, AND HOW THIS, THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS THAT AREN'T\n501C3s GET TO BECOME\nCOMPETITIVE, STILL, IF THEY WERE\nWITH A A SPONSOR.\nTHANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT IS\nRIGHT. SO REPORTING IS A PART OF\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY, AND\nWE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT\nTHAT. SO, MOVING FORWARD, THE\nOUTCOMES THAT WE HAVE FOR THE\nCOMMUNITY SMALL GRANTS--\nSORRY, DIRECTOR, ONE MORE.\nSORRY: SORRY.\nSORRY, DIRECTOR.\nCOUNCIL MEMBER LINN, YOU ARE\nRECOGNIZED.\nTHANK YOU, CHAIR.\nTHE ELIGIBILITY, YOU KNOW,\nSOME OF OUR UNIONS, IN\nPARTICULAR, INDUSTRIES, YOU\nKNOW, MAJORITY OF THEIR MEMBERS\nMAY BE IMMIGRANTS, AND WE HAVE\nSEEN HOW OFTEN TIMES IT IS OUR\nUNION PARTNERS THAT ARE KIND OF\nA FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR MANY\nFOLKS. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A\nREPORT RECENTLY ABOUT U-DUB GRAD\nSTUDENT WHO WAS DETAINED AND IT\nWAS THE UNION THAT RUSHED DOWN\nTO THE AIRPORT TO, YOU KNOW, TRY\nTO ASSIST. SO I AM WONDERING, ON\nTHE SMALL GRANTS, I DON'T THINK\nUNIONS ARE 501C3s, WONDERING IF\nIF THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, COULD\nYOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ANY\nSORT OF COLLABORATION OR\nOPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR UNION\nPARTNERS?\nTHAT IS A GOOD QUESTION: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.\nCERTAINLY FROM THE WORKER ANGLE,\nTHERE IS A LOT OF COLLABORATION,\nAND SO I WILL GO BACK TO OUR\nGROUP, I KNOW LABOR UNIONS HAVE\nA SPECIFIC LABOR TAX STATUS AND\nI DON'T WANT TO RULE THAT OUT,\nSO THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT\nOUT. AND THEN I WOULD LOVE TO\nFOLLOW UP WITH YOU TO HAVE A\nMORE SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATION\nABOUT THAT. HAVING SAID THAT, I\nDO WANT TO SAY THAT OUR\nINTENTION IS TO SUPPORT VERY\nSMALL ORGANIZATIONS, AND\nALTHOUGH UNIONS DO DO IMPORTANT\nWORK, I THINK GIVEN THE AMOUNT\nOF SUPPORT OR REQUEST THAT WE\nWOULD EXPECT FROM THIS, THAT\nWOULD BE APPLIED AGAINST\nCONSIDERATION FOR ORGANIZATIONS\nTHAT HAVE NO RESOURCES SO I WANT\nTO BE-- MAKE SURE TO OFFER THAT\nAS WELL.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. GREAT QUESTION,\nCOUNCIL MEMBER LINN, AND THANK\nYOU DIRECTOR VU, A LOT OF FOLKS\nDON'T REALIZE PART OF THE\nEFFORT IS REALLY THERE ARE A LOT\nOF FOLKS ON THE GROUND WHO, AND\nA LOT OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO HELP\nTHE FOLKS ON THE GROUND,\nIMMIGRANT FOLKS ON THE GROUND,\nAND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE\nWORKING WITH FOLKS THAT HAVE\nACCESS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT\nMIGHT NOT KNOW HOW TO GET\nRESOURCES AND HOW TO, YOU KNOW,\nHOW TO ACCESS SOME OF THESE\nRESOURCES. SO, OFTEN TIMES WE\nFIND THESE SMALL COMMUNITY\nGROUPS, AND SOMETIMES THEY GET\nSQUEEZED OUT OF THE PROCESS\nBECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USED TO\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY.\nYEP: YEP.\nSO I THINK WHAT I AM HEARING: SO I THINK WHAT I AM HEARING\nYOU SAY AND WHAT I KNOW FROM OUR\nWORK IN THE PAST TOGETHER IS\nTHAT THE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO\nREALLY INTENTIONAL TO MAKE SURE\nTHAT WE ARE PROVIDING ACCESS AND\nOPPORTUNITY FOR SOME SMALLER\nGROUPS THAT DO ALREADY HELP\nFOLKS IN COMMUNITY, BUT THEY\nDON'T NECESSARILY KNOW HOW TO\nACCESS CITY DOLLARS, WHICH IS\nWHY I BRING UP THE SPONSOR\nPIECE, BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE\nORGANIZATIONS AREN'T\nNECESSARILY 501C3s AND THEY NEED\nTO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS FISCAL\nSPONSOR TO DO THE WORK. YEAH, I\nJUST-- POINTING OUT THE SMALLER\nGROUPS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE\nSMALLER GROUPS, BECAUSE THEY ARE\nDOING SO MUCH IN COMMUNITY,\nDON'T NECESSARILY ALWAYS HAVE\nTHE ACCESS.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHAT IS WHAT I AM HEARING YOU: THAT IS WHAT I AM HEARING YOU\nSAY.\nYES.\nYOU CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG,\nDIRECTOR.\nYOU KNOW, THE BEAUTY OF WHAT\nWE SAW IN MINNEAPOLIS, THE\nDESENERALIZED NATURE HOW PEOPLE\nCAME TOGETHER WITH VERY LITTLE\nRESOURCES, ADMIRABLE. WE ARE IN\nSUCH A PRIVILEGED AMOUNT OF\nMONEY, LOCAL SUPPORTS.\nTHE OTHER THING, EVERYBODY\nWANTS TO HELP LEGAL PARTNER\nWHOSE CAN COME TOGETHER AND\nREFER FOLKS TO THE DEPARTMENT,\nWHO CAN REFER FOLKS TO THOSE\nSMALLER ORGANIZATIONS. WE ARE\nALL WORKING TOGETHER, YES, WE\nDEFINITELY SHOULD, THEY HAVE\nACCESS TOO. WE ARE ALL COMING\nTOGETHER TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE\nTO IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. THE\nMAIN THING IN MY NOTES, KIND OF\nA TALL ORDER, OUTSIDE OF THIS\nTHERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS COMING\nTOGETHER TO ALSO PROVIDE\nASSISTANCE, INCLUDING LABOR\nPARTNERS ARE DOING SO MUCH, I\nWOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THAT,\nWE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR WHAT IS\nHAPPENING ON THE GROUND&I KNOW\nTHERE IS SOME OTHER, AND\nPHILANTHROPY AND OTHER EFFORTS,\nWHICH IS WHY I THINK YOU WILL\nWORK WITH SEATTLE FOUNDATION IN\nTERMS OF RAISING SOME FUNDS,\nBECAUSE YOU KNOW THE NEED IS\nGREATER THAN WE ARE ABLE TO\nADDRESS, BUT THE CITY DOESN'T\nALWAYS HEAR WHO ELSE, AND WHAT\nOTHER WORK IS BEING DONE OUT\nTHERE. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE\nTO FIGURE OUT A WAY FOR US TO\nKNOW THAT, INCLUDING THE GREAT\nWORK THAT OUR LABOR PARTNERS DO\nIN THIS SPACE, BECAUSE THEY DO A\nLOT. WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT\nIT. YOU KNOW?\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nSO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, I\nWANTED TO SHARE THE OUTCOMES\nTHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THIS\nBODY OF WORK, AND ALSO TO\nHIGHLIGHT THAT WE DO REQUIRE ALL\nGRANTEES TO TRACK AND REPORT TO\nUS THE NUMBER OF EVENTS, THE\nTOPICS, THE NUMBER OF ATTENDEES\nAND LANGUAGES SERVED,\nSPECIFICALLY FOR FAMILY SAFETY\nPLANNING ACTIVITIES, GRANTEES\nWILL REPORT THE NUMBER OF\nCOMPLETED PLANS FOR BASIC NEEDS,\nGRANTEES WILL ATTEST TO\nELIGIBILITY OF THOSE WHO ARE\nSERVED AND PROVIDE RECEIPTS OR\nFINANCIAL REPORTS FOR THE TYPE\nOF NEED. THAT, CONSISTENT WITH\nOUR CONCERN ABOUT DATA AND\nPRIVACY, WE WANT TO-- YOU TO\nKNOW, THAT ALL OF THIS WILL BE\nREPORTED TO US ONLY IN THE\nAGGREGATE.\nYES. REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE\nTHAT WE ARE NOT-- THE CITY DOES\nNOT COLLECT INFORMATION\nIDENTIFYING INFORMATION, NO\nNAMES, ADDRESSES, NOTHING OF\nTHAT NATURE. RECEIPTS DON'T\nHAVE NAMES ATTACHED TO THEM, BUT\nWE NEED FOR OUR REPORTING, OUR\nFISCAL, OUR BOOKSISM WE NEED TO\nMAKE SURE WE HAVE THE\nDOCUMENTATION, BUT IT IS NOT TO\nIDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS OR\nDISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM COMING\nOUT TO GET ASSISTANCE.\nTHAT IS RIGHT: THAT IS RIGHT.\nSO, HERE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE\nOF REPORTING TEMPLATE HERE, SO\nYOU CAN SEE WHAT COMMUNITY\nPARTNERS WILL SEE. FUNDING, SO,\nI JUST TALKED ABOUT THE LDN\nEXPANSION AND THE COMMUNITY\nSMALL GRANTS, THOSE WERE THE\nFIRST RELEASED, NEXT IS FUNDING\nINCLUDES INVESTMENTS THAT WILL\nGO OUT AND BE ANNOUNCED LATER,\nWHICH IS SUPPORT FOR A BODY OF\nIMMIGRANT INCLUSION SERVICES, I\nMENTIONED EARLIER THE FEDERAL\nFUNDING LOSSES THAT WE HAVE\nSEEN, FOR NATURALIZATION, ESL,\nTHE LEGAL ORIENTATION PROGRAM,\nALSO WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE\nCOMMUNITY RESPONSE FOR DETAINED\nINDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, AND\nFOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN\nLEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS AND UP\nCOMING OPPORTUNITIES COME TO OUR\nWEBSITE, THERE IS A LINK HERE IN\nTHE SLIDE. AND THEN WE PROVIDE\nREGULAR UPDATES AND RESOURCES\nTHROUGH OUR MONTHLY NEWS LETTER,\nOUR BLOG, AND SOCIAL MEDIA,\nPLEASE STAY CONNECTED WITH US\nAND STAY INFORMED AND THE\nINFORMATION IS HERE ON THE\nSCREEN. AND I WILL STOP THERE.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU: THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, DIRECTOR, IT IS\nCLEAR YOU AND YOUR TEAM, AND\nTHANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM, SOME OF\nWHICH ARE IN THE AUDIENCE, NICE\nTO SEE YOU AGAIN, ARE DOING A\nLOT. AND I WANT TO ALSO\nACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS ONLY PART OF\nTHE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE\nFUNDS, AND SINCE THIS IS ONGOING\nIN YOUR BUDGET, YOU ARE WORKING\nON FUTURE YEARS, AND LOOKING AT\nHOW WELL THINGS ARE GOING AND\nSORT OF, DID WE COVER THE NEED\nTHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT COMMUNITY\nNEEDS AT THE MOMENT, BECAUSE YOU\nWANT TO BE NIMBLE IN YEARS AND\nWE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL\nHAPPEN IN THE FUTURE TOO.\nTHAT IS RIGHT. THE LANDSCAPE\nIS CONSTANTLY CHANGING, AND WE\nNEED BE RESPONSIVE AND TAKE A\nLOOK, KEEP LISTENING AND\nPIVOTING WHEN WE NEED TO.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU,\nDIRECTOR, AND I HEAR FROM, AND I\nHAVE SPOKEN WITH SOME FOLKS IN\nOUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY IN TOWN,\nAND THEY ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR\nOIRAs AND THE CITY'S COLLECTIVE\nEFFORTS AND THAT IS IS ALWAYS\nREALLY, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE\nHEARING THAT FROM COMMUNITY,\nBECAUSE I KNOW WE ALL WANT TO DO\nWHAT WE CAN TO HELP. COLLEAGUES,\nQUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COUNCIL\nMEMBER FOSTER, I SEE YOU HAVE\nYOUR CAMERA ON. DO YOU WANT--\nANY QUESTIONS?\nTHANK YOU SO MUCH: THANK YOU SO MUCH.\nI WILL RECOGNIZE YOU. GO\nAHEAD.\nTHANK YOU, CHAIR, AND THANK\nYOU, DIRECTOR, ALWAYS A PLEASURE\nTO HEAR FROM YOU. MAYBE YOU CAN\nSEND OVER SOME OF THE THINGS YOU\nSHARED AT THE BEGINNING OF\nCOMMITTEE VIA E-MAIL, YOU HAD\nREALLY GREAT POINTS AROUND THE\nCUTS TO ESOL THAT YOU HAVE SEEN,\nAND THE CUTS TO LEGAL DEFENSE\nSERVICES, AND SO WE HAVE BEEN\nTRYING TO TRACK THOSE AND IF YOU\nARE ABLE TO SEND THOSE NUMBERS\nVIA FOLLOW UP, I THINK THAT\nWOULD BE HELPFULMENT I GOT AS\nGOOD OF NOTES AS I COULD BUT\nWANT TO MAKE SURE I GOT THAT\nCORRECT. THAT WOULD BE\nFANTASTIC. THEN I REALLY WANTED\nTO SAY I APPRECIATE AND\nWOULDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS\nFROM YOUR LEADERSHIP, BUT\nAPPRECIATE THE LEVEL OF\nATTENTION TO DETAIL,\nPARTICULARLY AROUND THE LEGAL\nDEFENSE, AND KNOWING THAT IS\nSEEING SIGNIFICANT CUTS AND\nHEARING MORE ABOUT\nPRIORITIZEATION AND THE WAY YOU\nAPPROACHED THE FUNDING AMOUNT\nBASED ON SEATTLE WAS REALLY\nHELPFUL TO HEAR.

DIRECTOR CUC\nVU IS HERE TO LET US KNOW HOW\nTHE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE\nIMPLEMENTED IN SUPPORT OF\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITY\nMEMBERS. I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE\nTHE GREAT WORK IN GENERAL THEY\nHAVE BEEN DOING FOR MANY YEARS,\nNOT JUST NOW, FOR THE IMMIGRANT\nCOMMUNITY. FOR THE RECORD, I\nHAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING\nWITH DIRECTOR VU ALL THE WAY\nBACK TO ABOUT 2018 OR 2019,\nDIRECTOR. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO\nHAVE HER BACK AT THE CITY, AT\nTHE HELM ONCE AGAIN. I KNOW HER\nCOMMITMENT TO OUR IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE RESIDENTS IN THE CITY, I\nREALLY APPRECIATE HER WORK. SO\nLUCKY TO GET TO WORK WITH HER\nAGAIN. WE HAVE SPOKEN, AND WHILE\nWE HAVE NOT SEEN THE SURGE THAT\nWE SAW IN MINNEAPOLIS HERE IN\nSEATTLE, WE HAVE SEEN AN\nINCREASE IN I.C.E ACTIVITY,\nWHILE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL\nHAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, WE DON'T\nWANT TO INSTILL FEAR IN FOLKS,\nBECAUSE THAT IS THE POINT,\nRIGHT? THE CURRENT\nADMINISTRATION CLEARLY WANTS\nFOLKS TO LIVE IN FEAR. I NEVER\nWANT TO BE MONGERING OR ADD\nSTRESS TO WHAT IS ALREADY A\nSTRESSFUL TIME FOR IMMIGRANT AND\nREFUGEE FOLKS IN TOWN. IT IS OUR\nJOB AS COUNCIL MEMBERS AND\nELECTED OFFICIALS AND AS THE\nCITY OF SEATTLE, TO REALLY HELP\nKEEP OUR PEOPLE CALM AND WE WANT\nTO MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT OUR\nCOMMUNITIES WHEN WE ARE--\nINSTEAD OF OPERATING IN A CHAOS\nSITUATION, AND THAT IS THE POINT\nOF OUR INVESTMENTS IS TO REALLY\nHELP SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES AND\nPROVIDE COMFORT AND SECURITY. I\nAM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO\nHEARING ABOUT THE INVESTMENT AND\nHOW IT IS GETTING IMPLEMENTED.\nTHE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT, WHICH\nIS AN ONGOING INVESTMENT, BY THE\nWAY, WAS DELINEATED BY COUNCIL\nACTION TO DO THE FOLLOWING, TO\nADDRESS BACKFILL FOR FEDERAL\nBUDGET CUTS, AND ALSO JUST RAPID\nRESPONSE, LEGAL DEFENSE, WHICH\nTHE DEPARTMENT ALREADY PROVIDES,\nIMMIGRANT INTEGRATION AND\nCITIZENSHIP SUPPORT, WHICH IS\nDEPARTMENT ALREADY PROVIDES AS\nWELL, ADULT IMMIGRANT WORKFORCE\nDEVELOPMENT, AND READY TO WORK,\nWHICH THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN\nDOING FOR MANY YEARS NOW,\nIMMIGRANT YOUTH CAREER PATHWAY\nPROGRAMS, IMMIGRANT SAFETY\nACCESS NETWORK, AND ETHNIC MEDIA\nAND TRANSLATION AND COMMUNITY\nADVISORS AND THE STAFFING\nNEEDING TO SUPPORT THE\nFUNCTIONS, TEMPORARY STAFFING\nNEEDED, TO SCALE UP THE WORK,\nBECAUSE THIS IS NORMALLY IT IS,\nWOULD HAVE BEEN $6 MILLION\nDEPARTMENT IS NOW A $10 WITH THE\nNEW MONEY, SO YOU ARE ABLE TO DO\nMORE. THE REASON WHY I AM\nPOINTING THAT OUT IS BECAUSE ANY\nTIME A DEPARTMENT GETS THIS SIZE\nOF PERCENTAGE INCREASE, I WANT\nTO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE\nDEPARTMENT THEN HAS TO TURN\nAROUND AND BE ABLE TO SCALE UP\nTHEIR OPERATIONS TO MEET THAT\nEXTRA FUNDING AND THAT TAKES\nTIME. SO I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO\nACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ISN'T\nSOMETHING THAT YOU COULD TURN\nAROUND OVERNIGHT, BECAUSE THIS\nIS A LOT MORE THAN YOU ARE\nUSUALLY MANAGING FOR, IN TERMS\nOF A BUDGET. SO, THAT IS\nIMPORTANT HERE TO NOTE, AND IT\nALWAYS TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF\nTIME. AND THEN I REALLY WANT TO,\nALSO, COLLEAGUES, APOLOGIES FOR\nNOT GETTING THE SLIDE DECK\nSOONER. WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO GET\nMATERIAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.\nTHERE WAS SOME LAST-MINUTE WORK\nON THE PRESENTATION BUT I\nDIDN'T WANT TO HOLD UP THE\nMEETING TODAY BECAUSE I KNOW THE\nDEPARTMENT IS DOING GREAT WORK,\nSO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE\nCOULD GET YOU THE BRIEFING,\nSOONER RATHER THAN LATER, BUT\nTHAT MEANT YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE\nMATERIALS UNTIL A LITTLE EARLIER\nTODAY AND FOR THAT I DO\nAPOLOGIZE AND I THANK YOU FOR\nYOUR GRACE SO LETS GET INTO THE\nPRESENTATION, DIRECTOR VU, YOU\nCAN INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE\nRECORD.

I AM GOING TO\nSTART WITH THIS TABLE HERE, I\nHAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE A\nHIGH-LEVAL RESPONSE AND WE WANT\nTO DRILL DOWN IN THE DETAILS,\nWHICH I KNOW YOU ARE INTERESTED\nIN, SO WE START, FIRST, WITH THE\nINVESTMENT AREAS, WHICH ARE\nREMOVAL DEFENSE, I WANT TO MOVE\nQUICKLY THROUGH THIS AND SPEND A\nLITTLE BIT OF TIME AND GIVING\nYOU MORE DETAILED INFORMATION\nABOUT WHICH EACH OF THESE\nINVESTMENT AREAS LOOKS LIKE. FOR\nREMOVAL DEFENSE, WE HAVE A\nPROPOSED INVESTMENT OF $1.25\nMILLION IN COMMUNITY GRANTS WE\nHAVE $280,000, AND IF THERE IS A\nSURGE IN 2026, THAT WILL\nDEFINITELY IMPACT WHAT THIS\nINVESTMENT LOOKS LIKE FOR 2027.\nWE HAVE A CATEGORY TO SUPPORT\nBUSINESSES, WORKERS, AND SOCIAL\nPROVIDERS, AT AN AMOUNT\n$500,000, WE HAVE $250,000 FOR\nCOMMUNITY RESPONSE FOR DETAINED\nFAMILIES, AND THEN ADDITIONAL\nINVESTMENT AREAS THAT ARE\nIMPACTING BY FEDERAL FUNDING\nCUTS, FOR EXAMPLE, LEGAL\nORIENTATION PROGRAM THERE THAT\nWORK IS DONE EXCLUSIVELY BY THE\nNORTHWEST IMMIGRANT RIGHTS\nPROJECT AT THE TACOMA DETENTION\nCENTER, $538,000 FUNDING WAS CUT\nTHERE, OUR PROPOSAL IS CONTINUE\n$140,000, THE MOUNT THAT IS PRO\nRATED FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF\nDETAINEES WHO HAVE DIRECT\nSEATTLE TIE, WHICH IS 25%.\nFEDERAL NATURALIZATION FUNDING\nCUTS, IN SEATTLE, WAS\nAPPROXIMATELY $675,000, AND THIS\nAMOUNT REFLECTS CITIZENSHIP\nINTEGRATION GRANTS, LOST FOR\nSEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS SERVING\nPEOPLE WITH SEATTLE TIE,\nINCLUDING ACRS, REWALLET,\nNEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE, THIS TOTAL\nINTEGRATION GRANTS LOST OVERALL\nIS MORE THAN $1 MILLION PER\nYEAR, OUR PROPOSAL IS TO FUND\nTHESE CUTS FOR NATURALIZATION\n$200,000 FOR THIS YEAR, AS WE\nKEEP MOVING TO CUTS TO FEDERAL\nFUNDS FOR ESL, OUR ESTIMATE WAS\nAPPROXIMATELY $800,000 OF\nFEDERAL FUNDS WERE CUT AFFECTING\nMOSTLY OUR SEATTLE COLLEGES, AND\nWE DID RECEIVE RECORDING FROM\nNORTH AND CENTRAL SEATTLE\nCOLLEGES, AND ARE AWAITING ON\nINFORMATION FROM SOUTH SEATTLE\nCOLLEGE, I EXPECT THE $800,000\nESTIMATE WAS MUCH HIGHER, WHICH\nREPRESENTS LOST CATASPY FOR\nSERVING COMMUNITY NEEDS, SO OUR\nPROPOSAL TO SUPPORT THIS WORK AT\n$655,000 GETS US CLOSER, BUT NOT\nA COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE\nFEDERAL DOLLARS CUT. EMERGENCY\nASSISTANCE, LEVERAGING $300,000\nINVESTMENT, WE WILL PARTNER WITH\nSEATTLE FOUNDATION, THEY HAVE A\nGOAL TO MATCH OR EXCEED THE\nAMOUNT. AS YOU KNOW, OUR OFFICE\nIS DOING THE LANGUAGE ACCESS\nWORK AND LANGUAGE JUSTICE, IF\nYOU WILL, ETHNIC MEDIA BUDGET\n$75,000 TO $125,000 TO MAKE SURE\nWE ARE ABLE TO REACH AS MANY\nAUDIENCE AS POSSIBLE AND TO\nINVOLVE OUR IMPORTANT PARTNERS\nIN ETHNIC MEDIA, $300,000 TO\nTEMPORARY STAFFING. THE\nLEGISLATION APPROVES FOR THREE\nPOSITIONS, TWO STRATEGIC\nADVISOR, ONE GENERAL GOVERNMENT\nPOSITIONS AND ONE CONTRACT AND\nGRANT SPECIALIST. WE DO NOT NEED\nTHE GRANTS AND CONTRACT\nSPECIALIST ROLE BECAUSE WE HAVE\nTHE ABILITY TO ABSORB THAT\nADDITIONAL WORK, BUT WE WILL\nREQUEST ONE STRATEGIC ADVISOR,\nONE POSITION, AND THAT POSITION\nWILL FUND SET AT THE END OF THE\nYEAR. SO, I WANT TO ADD THAT,\nAND THEN JUST STEP BACK FOR A\nMOMENT HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW WE\nARRIVED AT THOSE INVESTMENT\nAREAS AND AMOUNTS AND GROUNDED\nIN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE THAT WE\nSAW, WHICH IS WE DID A LOT OF\nLISTENING OVER, BEGINNING FROM\nTHE TIME THAT THE NEW WHITE\nHOUSE TOOK PLACE, AND WE KNEW\nTHERE WOULD BE A LOT OF\nIMMIGRATION ACTIVITY, SO WE\nCONVENED OUR LEGAL PROGRAMS AND\nDID A SURVEY FOR BOTH LEGAL\nDEFENSE AND NATURALIZATION\nPARTNERS IN MAY OF 2025 AND DID\nANOTHER IN MARCH OF 2026, SAME\nFOR ESR AND WORKFORCE EDUCATION,\nSURVEY IN-PERSON CONVENING, JULY\n2025, AND MARCH OF 2026, RAPID\nRESPONSE, THAT WAS AN ONFWOEING\nDISCUSSION, BECAUSE IF YOU\nRECALL, THE ENFORCEMENT ACTION\nSTARTED IMMEDIATELY IN 2025, AND\nTHAT BODY OF WORK WAS CRITICAL\nFOR US TO STAND UP AS QUICKLY AS\nPOSSIBLE. WE DID ONE-ON-ONE\nENGAGEMENT WITH MY PREDECESSOR,\nDIRECTOR, 23 COMMUNITY PARTNERS,\nWHICH EITHER CONTINUE TO DO IN\nMY RETURN TO THE CITY, AND AS\nTHE MAYOR KATIE WILSON'S\nADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN\nLEADERSHIP, THEY FELT IT WAS\nIMPORTANT TO ALSO BE GROUNDED IN\nTHE LISTENING AND LEARNING FROM\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE\nCOMMUNITIES AND THE MAYOR AND\nHER STAFF HELD A ROUND TABLE\nFEBRUARY 2026, WE TOOK\nINFORMATION FROM HER TRANSITION\nTEAM WITH, THAT DID TWO\nLISTENING SESSIONS AND A SURVEY,\nANOTHER ETHNIC MEDIA ROUND TABLE\nIN MARCH OF 2026, AND THEN\nREALLY SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATIONS\nWE HAVE DONE WITH PEER\nJURISDICTIONS IN BOSTON, DENVER,\nMINNEAPOLIS, SAN JOSE. CHICAGO\nAND MINNEAPOLIS HAD A LOT OF\nIMPORTANT LESSONS TO SHARE. SO\nWHAT DID WE LEARN? I WANT TO\nREFLECT, FIRST, ON THE NUMBER\nONE PRIORITY THAT STOOD OUT\nTHROUGH ALL OF THE ENGAGEMENT\nTHAT WE DID, AND FOR GOOD\nREASON, WE SAW FEDERAL POLICY\nCHANGES THAT LED TO SIGNIFICANT\nDELAYS IN IMMIGRATION PROCESSES,\nAND NEW BARRIERS PREVENTING\nIMMIGRANTS IN SEATTLE FROM\nACCESSING THINGS THAT WERE NOT\nSO HARD TO DO BEFORE, SUCH AS\nGETTING WORK PERMITS, OR\nAPPLYING FOR A ASYLUM OR\nAPPLYING FOR GREEN CARD,\nBECOMING A U.S. CITIZEN AND\nBENEFITS THAT COME WITH\nIMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE STATUS,\nBUT THOSE INCREASE REQUESTS FOR\nLEGAL ASSISTANCE IMMIGRATION\nINFORMATION, DUE TO HEIGHTENED\nCOMMUNITY CONCERNS, ABOUT\nIMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT TACTICS.\nWE SEE MAPPED OUT SEATTLE\nSUBDIVISION, 14,290 CASES IN\nIMMIGRATION COURT WITH ABOUT\n6,266 THAT ARE REPRESENTED BY AN\nIMMIGRATION ATTORNEY AND\nAPPROXIMATELY 8,000 WITHOUT\nREPRESENTATION, SO EFFECTIVELY,\nALMOST 60% OF THE CASES HAVE NO\nLEGAL REPRESENTATION. THE DATA\nSHOWS, ALSO, THAT BETWEEN 2024\nAND 2025, ACCORDING TO SEATTLE\nTIMES ARTICLE DATED MARCH 11th,\nWE SAW AN INCREASE OF 152% IN\nENFORCEMENT ALONG WITH INCREASED\nCHALLENGES FOR COMMUNICATION\nWITH DETAINED INDIVIDUALS AND ON\nTUESDAY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO\nSIT WITH A COALITION CALLED HOT\nPOT FOR ALL, WHICH IS A GROUP OF\nORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE MOSTLY\nSEEING SOUTHEAST ASIAN\nIMMIGRANTS, BUT MANY OF THOSE\nCOME AS REFUGEES AND THAT\nCOMMUNITY HAS SEEN A DEVASTATING\nTOLL IN DEPORTATIONS THAT\nHAPPENED VERY QUICKLY, SO IT IS\nNOT JUST OUR MEMBERS WHO HAVE NO\nDOCUMENTATION, IT IS MEMBERS OF\nOUR COMMUNITIES WHO ARE HERE\nWITH STATUS, AND WHO ARE BEING\nDEPORTED AND NOT ABLE TO SEE\nTHEIR FAMILIES OR COMMUNICATE\nWITH THEM. AND WHAT IS\nSIGNIFICANT ABOUT THIS IS THAT\n929 ARRESTS WERE CARRIED OUT IN\n2024, AMONG WASHINGTON COUNTIES,\nKING COUNTY SAW THE HIGHEST\nNUMBER OF ARRESTS LAST YEAR WITH\n1,030 TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, AND\nNEARLY HALF OF THE KING COUNTY\nARRESTS, 470, WERE IN SEATTLE,\nWHICH, TO ME, DEBUNKS THE IDEA\nTHAT SEATTLE IS SAFE FROM I.C.E\nENFORCEMENT. THAT IS NOT TRUE\nWHEN WE LOOK AT THE DATA.\nI WILL SAY, DIRECTOR VU, I\nWILL TAKE THE MINUTE NOW TO SAY\nTHAT THIS TRACKS WITH WHAT WE\nHEARD LAST YEAR FROM IMMIGRANT\nORGANIZATIONS, DEFENSE\nORGANIZATIONS, WHERE THE FEDERAL\nFUNDING WAS GETTING CUT, AND\nTHIS WAS A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF\nCONCERN FOR THE COUNCIL, SO THIS\nLEGAL PIECE IS REALLY IMPORTANT,\nAND THE POINT THAT OUR IMMIGRANT\nPOPULATION, THE ONE WHOSE ARE\nHERE, DOCUMENTED OR EXPERIENCING\nISSUES TOO, NOT JUST THE ONES\nTHAT ARE HERE UNDOCUMENTED, SO,\nEVERYONE IS IN NEED OF LEGAL\nDEFENSE RIGHT NOW, SO THAT IS AN\nIMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE. I\nDON'T THINK THAT ANYONE THINKS\nSEATTLE, THERE HAS BEEN AN\nUPTICK IN SEATTLE, WE HAVEN'T\nSEEN QUITE THE SAME SURGE AS\nCHICAGO AND MINNEAPOLIS,\nTHANKFULLY, AND, AGAIN, WE\nDON'T KNOW WHAT IS TO COME IN\nTHE FUTURE, BUT I DON'T THINK\nANYONE DOESN'T KNOW AT THIS\nPOINT, THAT FOLKS ARE GETTING\nPICKED UP IN SEATTLE. THERE IS\nAN INCREASE. WE HAVE SEEN THAT.\nTHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE. THANK\nYOU.\nWHEN&WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING,\nAND THE LEGAL DEFENSE RISING AS\nNUMBER ONE PRIORITY, WE HEARD\nLOT OF OTHER NEEDS, SO THESE, I\nWANTED TO TOUCH ON THESE\nADDITIONAL PRIORITIES, WE HEARD\nTHAT-- AND WE HAVE SEEN\nSIGNIFICANT CUTS IN FEDERAL\nFUNDING TO IMMIGRATION PROGRAMS,\nESL, WE HAVE SEEN THEY ARE\nDEEPLY AFRAID OF BEING TARGETED\nBY ENFORCEMENT AND THE IMPACT OF\nTHAT IS THAT IT IS AFFECTING\nPEOPLE'S SELF SUFFICIENCY, THEY\nARE AFRAID TO GO TO WORK\nSOMETIMES. AND WHEN THERE IS\nLACK OF INCOME, THAT IMPACTS\nTHEIR BOTTOM LINE TO AFFORD\nBASIC NEEDS.\nWE ARE SENDING KIDS TO\nSCHOOL, TOO, DIRECTOR, WE HAVE\nHEARD A LOT. I KNOW SPS IS DOING\nA LOT OF WORK THERE.\nADDITIONAL PRIORITIES: ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES\nINCLUDESMALL COMMUNITY-BASED\nORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE TELLING\nUS THAT THEY NEED RESOURCES TO\nSUPPORT RESIDENTS AND WORKERS\nAND WHILE WE KNOW THESE STORIES\nOF ENFORCEMENT AT A NATIONAL\nLEVEL, OR EVEN REGIONAL LEVEL,\nIT REALLY DRILLS DOWN, ALSO, TO\nFIGURE AT A HYPERLOCAL LEVEL AND\nPEOPLE FEEL A NEED TO SUPPORT\nTHEIR NEIGHBORS. WE ALSO HEARD\nTHERE IS A NEED FOR EXPANDED\nLEGAL CONSULTATIONS, SAFETY\nPLANNING AND RESPONSE TO\nPROTOCOLS ACROSS BUSINESS\nCOMMUNITIES, WORKERS, AND\nIMMIGRANT SERVING PROVIDERS SUCH\nAS FOOD BANKS. THAT IS GENERAL\nOVERVIEW OF WHAT WE HAVE HEARD,\nAND I WANT TO BEGIN NOW, GIVING\nYOU A LITTLE MORE DETAILS ABOUT\nTHIS EXPANDED INVESTMENT\nPORTFOLIO, AND WE ARE GOING TO\nSTART, FIRST, WITH THE TOP TWO,\nWHAT YOU SEE HERE, LEGAL REMOVAL\nDEFENSE AND SMALL COMMUNITY\nGRANTS, BECAUSE THESE WERE THE\nONES THAT WERE THE MOST URGENT\nIN TERMS OF STANDING UP AND\nREFLECTING WHAT WE HEARD AS\nPRIORITIES. SO, WITH THE REMOVAL\nDEFENSE, THIS TOUCHES OUR LEGAL\nDEFENSE NETWORK, LDN, AND\nNEEDING TO EXPAND THAT AND WE\nARE GOING TO DO THAT THROUGH AN\nRFP PROCESS, SO THIS PROGRAM\nPROVIDES LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO\nLOW INCOME IMMIGRANT WHOSE ARE\nIN DETENTION, FACING REMOVAL, OR\nIN DANGER OF LOSS BECAUSE OF\nTHEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS. SO I\nWANT TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT\nABOUT WHAT THE FUNDING DETAILS\nARE, AND THIS IS AVAILABLE\nTHROUGH RFP, I AM HAPPY TO MAKE\nIT AVAILABLE TO OTHER COUNCIL\nMEMBERS IF THEY WOULD LIKE. THE\nTOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE ARE UP TO\nAN ADDITIONAL $1.25 MILLION. THE\nCONTRACT PERIOD BEGINS JUNE 1,\nAND THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF 2026,\nTHIS RFP HAS ALREADY BEEN\nRELEASED, AND THE SUBMISSION\nDEADLINE IS 5:00 P.M. APRIL\n24th. ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS MUST\nBE A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION\nWITH THE 501C3 STATUS, MUST HAVE\nOFFICES LOCATED WITHIN SEATTLE\nKING COUNTY, AND HAVE AT LEAST\nONE FULLY ACCREDITED DOJ REP OR\nLICENSE ATTORNEY WITH AT LEAST\nTWO YEARS EXPERIENCE PROVIDING\nREMOVAL DEFENSE SERVICES, AND\nTHEY MUST BE COMMITTED TO OFFING\nREMOVAL DEFENSE SERVICES FOR AT\nLEAST THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THAT\nIS A VERY HIGH BAR, BUT ONE THAT\nIS NECESSARY, BECAUSE THE CASES\nARE TAKING A LONG TIME AND THEY\nNEED TO RELY ON REPRESENTATION\nFOR THE DURATION OF THEIR CASE,\nAND ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS MUST BE\nABLE TO COMMENCE FULL PROPOSED\nSERVICES WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF\nTHE CONTRACT EXECUTION.\nDIRECTOR VU, CAN YOU ALSO--\nAND I KNOW PART OF THIS IS\nINSURING THAT THESE\nORGANIZATIONS ARE SERVICING\nEITHER RESIDENTS OR SEATTLE OR\nFOLKS THAT HAVE A NEXUS TO,\nTHERE HAS TO BE A NEXUS TO\nSEATTLE.\nYES, THANK YOU FOR REMINDING\nME. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE\nREQUIRED TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR\nINDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A TIE TO\nSEATTLE, AND THAT MEANS LIVE,\nWORK, OR GO TO SCHOOL HERE,\nPOSSIBLY RECEIVE SERVICES HERE\nAS WELL. AND BECAUSE THIS IS A\nSIGNIFICANT PROGRAM, WE WANT TO\nBE TRANSPARENT WHAT THE OUTCOMES\nARE. THERE IS FULL\nREPRESENTATION WITH ADDITIONAL\nINVESTMENT FOR CASE LOAD OF 500,\nWHICH DOUBLES THE CURRENT\nCASELOAD OF 250, AND THAT\nINCLUDES UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN,\nOUT OF THE 250 CASES CURRENTLY,\nTHERE IS AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT\nTO A HUNDRED DERIVATIVES, WHICH\nIS FAMILY MEMBERS. WE ALSO,\nTHROUGH THIS PROGRAM, PROVIDE\nCRITICAL QUALIFIED IMMIGRATION\nATTORNEY SERVICES FOR CASES\nTHROUGH THE VERY COMPLEX AND\nOFTEN LENGTHY IMMIGRATION\nPROCESS.\nDIRECTOR VU, WOULD YOU PLEASE\nSHARE WITH US THE-- I WOULD LOVE\nTO PUT IN OUR NEWS LETTERS THAT\nRFP, SO FOLKS KNOW IT IS OPEN\nAND THEY CAN APPLY. I AM HAPPY,\nEVEN THOUGH I KNOW WE WOULD ALL\nDO SO, SPEAK, I SEE COUNCIL\nMEMBER LINN GIVING ME THE THUMBS\nUP. WE WOULD LOVE TO GET THE\nINFORMATION OUT WIDELY SO IF YOU\nSHARE THE RFP DETAILS, WE WILL\nPUT IT IN OUR COMMUNICATIONS TO\nOUR CONSTITUENTS. THAT WOULD BE\nGREAT. THANKS SO MUCH. PART OF\nTHIS, ON THE OUTCOMES PIECE, THE\nCASE LOAD, THESE ARE ALL GOALS,\nOF COURSE, AND WITH THE ULTIMATE\nOUTCOME OF FOLKS IN THE\nCOMMUNITY BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE\nPROCESS, WE WOULD LEARN TO HEAR\nHOW MANY FOLKS WE WERE ABLE TO\nHELP IN TOWN.\nWE DO COLLECT QUARTERLY\nREPORTS, SO I AM HAPPY TO SHARE\nTHOSE WITH ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS\nWHO ARE INTERESTED.\nTHAT WOULD BE GREAT. I THINK\nIT GOES TO JUST, IT WOULD\nALLEVIATE OUR CONCERNS, SOME OF\nOUR CONCERNS, NOT FULLY, IT IS\nREALLY GREAT TO HEAR THAT WE\nWERE ABLE TO BE HELPFUL, I GUESS\nIS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.\nYES, ABSOLUTELY. WE CAN DO\nTHAT.\nANOTHER AREA I WANT TO\nHIGHLIGHT, WHICH WE SENT AN\nANNOUNCEMENT THROUGH RFP, IF YOU\nHAVE NOT HEARD IT, WE WILL\nFOLLOW UP AND PROVIDE\nINFORMATION ON THIS, THESE ARE\nONE-TIME CONTRACTS WITH\nCOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS TO OFFER\nRESOURCES, EDUCATION, AND TOOLS\nTO EMPOWER COMMUNITIES IN\nSEATTLE. SO, THE ACCEPTABLE\nACTIVITIES TO BE FUNDED INCLUDE\nCOMMUNITY AIDE FOR BASIC NEEDS,\nTHIS INCLUDES MEAL DELIVERY\nSERVICE, OR ITEMS IN FOOD\nPANTRY, BASIC GOODS SUCH AS BABY\nFORMULA OR DIAPERS, WE DIRECT\nPEOPLE TO ASSIST WITH UTILITIES,\nREST, ASSISTANCE, FOOD. KNOW\nYOUR RIGHT, COMMUNITY\nINFORMATION SESSIONS COULD\nINCLUDE RECENT OR PENDING\nCHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LAW AND\nPOLICY, WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN\nMANY. IT INCLUDES IMMIGRANT\nWORKERS RIGHTS. A THIRD ACTIVITY\nTHIS FUNDING WILL SUPPORT IS\nFAMILY SAFETY PLANNING TYPICALLY\nOFFERED THROUGH WORKSHOPS OR\nCLINICS, AND WITH AN IMMIGRATION\nATTORNEY, WHO HELPS INDIVIDUALS\nAND THEIR FAMILIES CREATE PLANS\nFOR CARE OF CHILDREN. OR,\nRATHER, DEPENDENTS. THEY PROVIDE\nLEGAL PREPARATIONS IN THE EVENT\nOF DETENTION, OR DEPORTATION OF\nA PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN. SOME\nUSED THEIR DISCRETIONARY DOLLARS\nBECAUSE IT IS JUST WHAT WAS\nNEEDED BY COMMUNITY, EL SENT ROW\nIS DOING THAT AND A NUMBER OF\nOTHER ORGANIZATIONS. WE CAN\nLEARN FROM THAT. IN FACT, I HAVE\nRECOMMENDED TO SOME OF OUR ASIAN\nAPI COMMUNITIES TO LEAN INTO THE\nEXPERTISE LATINO COMMUNITIES\nHAVE DEVELOPED. AND THAT IS A\nWAY WE CAN LEARN FROM EACH\nOTHER.\nTHERE WAS A RECENT ARTICLE\nTALKING ABOUT ACROSS THE UNITED\nSTATES, KIDS WHO COME HOME TO\nFIND THEIR PARENTS HAVE BEEN\nDETAINED, AND SO HAVING A FAMILY\nPLAN IN PLACE IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT IT IS VERY SAD, AND\nALSO HAVING A PLAN IN PLACE IS\nREALLY IMPORTANT.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHE FUNDING DETAILS, PRETTY\nSTRAIGHT FORWARD, BECAUSE WE\nMEAN THIS TO BE A BROAD CATEGORY\nFOR THE TYPES OF ACTIVITIES THAT\nTHE CITY DOES NOT CURRENTLY\nSUPPORT, AND THAT OUR INTENTION\nIS TO REACH VERY SMALL\nORGANIZATIONS THAT MANY OF WHICH\nMAY NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE,\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY, WE\nWANT TO MAKE THIS EASY, SO THESE\nWILL BE APPLICATIONS THROUGH\nPDFs AND ONE-ON-ONE PHONE CALLS,\nFOR EXAMPLE, JUST TO DRILL DOWN\nA LITTLE BIT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT\nTHE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES ARE, AND\nTHAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, WILL\nFOLLOW UP, ALSO, WITH ANY\nTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT MAY BE\nNEEDED FOR VERY NEW\nORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH THE\nCITY. THE FUNDING DETAILS ARE\nDESCRIBED HERE, TOTAL FUNDS\nAVAILABLE ARE UP TO $280,000. I\nDO WANT TO SAY THAT WHERE THERE\nMAY BE UNDERSPENDING IN OTHER\nPARTS OF OUR INVESTMENT\nPORTFOLIO, THAT WE HAVE THE\nOPTION TO SHIFT SOME OF THE\nRESOURCES OVER HERE, BECAUSE OUR\nEXPECTATION IS THAT THE NEED IS\nGREATER THAN THE RESOURCES THAT\nWE HAVE. THAT IS TRUE, PROBABLY,\nACROSS EVERY GRANT AREA IN THE\nCITY OF SEATTLE. EACH\nAPPLICATION MAY BE AWARDED UP TO\n$10,000, AND HERE ORGANIZATIONS\nARE STILL ELIGIBLE, EVEN IF THEY\nRECEIVE CITY DOLLARS IN OTHER\nAREAS OR OTHER DEPARTMENTS, SO\nWE WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THE\nAPPLICATION DEADLINE, IT WILL BE\nAPPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON\nA ROLLING BASIS WITH FUNDING\nDECISIONS ANNOUNCED WITHIN SIX\nWEEKS OF APPLICATION SUBMISSION,\nAND THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT\nCOMMUNITIES NEEDED THIS MONEY\nYESTERDAY, SO WE WANT TO MAKE\nTHE RESOURCES AVAILABLE AS\nQUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, BUT ALSO\nALLOW FOR ENOUGH TIME TO VARIOUS\nSMALL ORGANIZATIONS TO HAVE A\nCHANCE AND SO WE WILL KEEP THIS\nOPEN FOR AS LONG AS BUDGET IS\nAVAILABLE, OR UNTIL FUNDS ARE\nEXHAUSTED. THE CONTRACT PERIOD\nFOR THIS IS THROUGH THIS\nCALENDAR YEAR . THIS IS REALLY\nIMPORTANT THAT ELIGIBILITY IS\nCONTINGENT ON A NON-PROFIT\nHAVING 501C3 STATUS, OR THEY MAY\nPARTNER WITH A FISCAL SPONSOR\nWITH THE 501C3 STAT, BUT IN ANY\nCASE, MUST SERVE PEOPLE WITH A\nSEATTLE TIE. I DO WANT TO\nEMPHASIZE, NOT ON A SLIDE, BUT\nIT IS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE\nTHAT THIS PROGRAM CANNOT FUND\nANY PROJECTS THAT ACTIVELY, OR\nUNLAWFULLY, OBSTRUCT OR\nINTERFERE WITH FEDERAL\nIMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. WE\nCANNOT FUND LEGAL A VICE NOT\nPRESENTED BY AN ACCREDITED\nATTORNEY OR PROVIDE CASH\nASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALSISM\nTHAT IS SPELLED OUT IN THE RFP\nBUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO\nCONVEY THAT TO YOU ALL AS WELL.\nTHANK YOU, DIRECTOR. AND\nTHEN, JUST WANT TO MENTION,\nBECAUSE A LOT OF FOLKS AREN'T\nFAMILIAR WITH THE FISCAL SPONSOR\nSET UP, SOME ARE, SOME AREN'T,\nPARTICULARLY THE PEOPLE\nWATCHING, BUT FOR THESE\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS, IF THEY ARE\nNOT 501C3 ORGANIZATION, THEY\nDON'T HAVE THINGS SET UP TO\nRECEIVE FUNDS, SO TYPICALLY,\nTHEN YOU WORK THROUGH A FISCAL\nSPONSOR THAT IS 501C3 AND THEY\nKNOW HOW TO HELP WITH THE\nAPPLICATIONS TO THE CITY AND ALL\nTHE PEOPLE WORK AND ON THE BACK\nEND, THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO\nSUBMIT IN ORDER TO THEN GET THE\nGRANTS, AND THEN ALL THE\nREPORTING, 501C3 FISCAL SPONSOR\nTHEN HELPS WITH THE REPORTING.\nTHAT IS RIGHT.\nJUST SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THAT\nIS, AND HOW THIS, THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS THAT AREN'T\n501C3s GET TO BECOME\nCOMPETITIVE, STILL, IF THEY WERE\nWITH A A SPONSOR.\nTHANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT IS\nRIGHT. SO REPORTING IS A PART OF\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY, AND\nWE WANT TO BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT\nTHAT. SO, MOVING FORWARD, THE\nOUTCOMES THAT WE HAVE FOR THE\nCOMMUNITY SMALL GRANTS--\nSORRY, DIRECTOR, ONE MORE.\nSORRY.\nSORRY, DIRECTOR.\nCOUNCIL MEMBER LINN, YOU ARE\nRECOGNIZED.\nTHANK YOU, CHAIR.\nTHE ELIGIBILITY, YOU KNOW,\nSOME OF OUR UNIONS, IN\nPARTICULAR, INDUSTRIES, YOU\nKNOW, MAJORITY OF THEIR MEMBERS\nMAY BE IMMIGRANTS, AND WE HAVE\nSEEN HOW OFTEN TIMES IT IS OUR\nUNION PARTNERS THAT ARE KIND OF\nA FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR MANY\nFOLKS. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A\nREPORT RECENTLY ABOUT U-DUB GRAD\nSTUDENT WHO WAS DETAINED AND IT\nWAS THE UNION THAT RUSHED DOWN\nTO THE AIRPORT TO, YOU KNOW, TRY\nTO ASSIST. SO I AM WONDERING, ON\nTHE SMALL GRANTS, I DON'T THINK\nUNIONS ARE 501C3s, WONDERING IF\nIF THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, COULD\nYOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ANY\nSORT OF COLLABORATION OR\nOPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR UNION\nPARTNERS?\nTHAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.\nCERTAINLY FROM THE WORKER ANGLE,\nTHERE IS A LOT OF COLLABORATION,\nAND SO I WILL GO BACK TO OUR\nGROUP, I KNOW LABOR UNIONS HAVE\nA SPECIFIC LABOR TAX STATUS AND\nI DON'T WANT TO RULE THAT OUT,\nSO THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT\nOUT. AND THEN I WOULD LOVE TO\nFOLLOW UP WITH YOU TO HAVE A\nMORE SUBSTANTIVE CONVERSATION\nABOUT THAT. HAVING SAID THAT, I\nDO WANT TO SAY THAT OUR\nINTENTION IS TO SUPPORT VERY\nSMALL ORGANIZATIONS, AND\nALTHOUGH UNIONS DO DO IMPORTANT\nWORK, I THINK GIVEN THE AMOUNT\nOF SUPPORT OR REQUEST THAT WE\nWOULD EXPECT FROM THIS, THAT\nWOULD BE APPLIED AGAINST\nCONSIDERATION FOR ORGANIZATIONS\nTHAT HAVE NO RESOURCES SO I WANT\nTO BE-- MAKE SURE TO OFFER THAT\nAS WELL.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. GREAT QUESTION,\nCOUNCIL MEMBER LINN, AND THANK\nYOU DIRECTOR VU, A LOT OF FOLKS\nDON'T REALIZE PART OF THE\nEFFORT IS REALLY THERE ARE A LOT\nOF FOLKS ON THE GROUND WHO, AND\nA LOT OF FOLKS THAT WANT TO HELP\nTHE FOLKS ON THE GROUND,\nIMMIGRANT FOLKS ON THE GROUND,\nAND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE\nWORKING WITH FOLKS THAT HAVE\nACCESS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT\nMIGHT NOT KNOW HOW TO GET\nRESOURCES AND HOW TO, YOU KNOW,\nHOW TO ACCESS SOME OF THESE\nRESOURCES. SO, OFTEN TIMES WE\nFIND THESE SMALL COMMUNITY\nGROUPS, AND SOMETIMES THEY GET\nSQUEEZED OUT OF THE PROCESS\nBECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USED TO\nCONTRACTING WITH THE CITY.\nYEP.\nSO I THINK WHAT I AM HEARING\nYOU SAY AND WHAT I KNOW FROM OUR\nWORK IN THE PAST TOGETHER IS\nTHAT THE DEPARTMENT IS ALSO\nREALLY INTENTIONAL TO MAKE SURE\nTHAT WE ARE PROVIDING ACCESS AND\nOPPORTUNITY FOR SOME SMALLER\nGROUPS THAT DO ALREADY HELP\nFOLKS IN COMMUNITY, BUT THEY\nDON'T NECESSARILY KNOW HOW TO\nACCESS CITY DOLLARS, WHICH IS\nWHY I BRING UP THE SPONSOR\nPIECE, BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE\nORGANIZATIONS AREN'T\nNECESSARILY 501C3s AND THEY NEED\nTO BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS FISCAL\nSPONSOR TO DO THE WORK. YEAH, I\nJUST-- POINTING OUT THE SMALLER\nGROUPS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE\nSMALLER GROUPS, BECAUSE THEY ARE\nDOING SO MUCH IN COMMUNITY,\nDON'T NECESSARILY ALWAYS HAVE\nTHE ACCESS.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHAT IS WHAT I AM HEARING YOU\nSAY.\nYES.\nYOU CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG,\nDIRECTOR.\nYOU KNOW, THE BEAUTY OF WHAT\nWE SAW IN MINNEAPOLIS, THE\nDESENERALIZED NATURE HOW PEOPLE\nCAME TOGETHER WITH VERY LITTLE\nRESOURCES, ADMIRABLE. WE ARE IN\nSUCH A PRIVILEGED AMOUNT OF\nMONEY, LOCAL SUPPORTS.\nTHE OTHER THING, EVERYBODY\nWANTS TO HELP LEGAL PARTNER\nWHOSE CAN COME TOGETHER AND\nREFER FOLKS TO THE DEPARTMENT,\nWHO CAN REFER FOLKS TO THOSE\nSMALLER ORGANIZATIONS. WE ARE\nALL WORKING TOGETHER, YES, WE\nDEFINITELY SHOULD, THEY HAVE\nACCESS TOO. WE ARE ALL COMING\nTOGETHER TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE\nTO IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. THE\nMAIN THING IN MY NOTES, KIND OF\nA TALL ORDER, OUTSIDE OF THIS\nTHERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS COMING\nTOGETHER TO ALSO PROVIDE\nASSISTANCE, INCLUDING LABOR\nPARTNERS ARE DOING SO MUCH, I\nWOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT THAT,\nWE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR WHAT IS\nHAPPENING ON THE GROUND&I KNOW\nTHERE IS SOME OTHER, AND\nPHILANTHROPY AND OTHER EFFORTS,\nWHICH IS WHY I THINK YOU WILL\nWORK WITH SEATTLE FOUNDATION IN\nTERMS OF RAISING SOME FUNDS,\nBECAUSE YOU KNOW THE NEED IS\nGREATER THAN WE ARE ABLE TO\nADDRESS, BUT THE CITY DOESN'T\nALWAYS HEAR WHO ELSE, AND WHAT\nOTHER WORK IS BEING DONE OUT\nTHERE. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE\nTO FIGURE OUT A WAY FOR US TO\nKNOW THAT, INCLUDING THE GREAT\nWORK THAT OUR LABOR PARTNERS DO\nIN THIS SPACE, BECAUSE THEY DO A\nLOT. WE DON'T ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT\nIT. YOU KNOW?\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU.\nSO THE NEXT SLIDE HERE, I\nWANTED TO SHARE THE OUTCOMES\nTHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THIS\nBODY OF WORK, AND ALSO TO\nHIGHLIGHT THAT WE DO REQUIRE ALL\nGRANTEES TO TRACK AND REPORT TO\nUS THE NUMBER OF EVENTS, THE\nTOPICS, THE NUMBER OF ATTENDEES\nAND LANGUAGES SERVED,\nSPECIFICALLY FOR FAMILY SAFETY\nPLANNING ACTIVITIES, GRANTEES\nWILL REPORT THE NUMBER OF\nCOMPLETED PLANS FOR BASIC NEEDS,\nGRANTEES WILL ATTEST TO\nELIGIBILITY OF THOSE WHO ARE\nSERVED AND PROVIDE RECEIPTS OR\nFINANCIAL REPORTS FOR THE TYPE\nOF NEED. THAT, CONSISTENT WITH\nOUR CONCERN ABOUT DATA AND\nPRIVACY, WE WANT TO-- YOU TO\nKNOW, THAT ALL OF THIS WILL BE\nREPORTED TO US ONLY IN THE\nAGGREGATE.\nYES. REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE\nTHAT WE ARE NOT-- THE CITY DOES\nNOT COLLECT INFORMATION\nIDENTIFYING INFORMATION, NO\nNAMES, ADDRESSES, NOTHING OF\nTHAT NATURE. RECEIPTS DON'T\nHAVE NAMES ATTACHED TO THEM, BUT\nWE NEED FOR OUR REPORTING, OUR\nFISCAL, OUR BOOKSISM WE NEED TO\nMAKE SURE WE HAVE THE\nDOCUMENTATION, BUT IT IS NOT TO\nIDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS OR\nDISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM COMING\nOUT TO GET ASSISTANCE.\nTHAT IS RIGHT.\nSO, HERE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE\nOF REPORTING TEMPLATE HERE, SO\nYOU CAN SEE WHAT COMMUNITY\nPARTNERS WILL SEE. FUNDING, SO,\nI JUST TALKED ABOUT THE LDN\nEXPANSION AND THE COMMUNITY\nSMALL GRANTS, THOSE WERE THE\nFIRST RELEASED, NEXT IS FUNDING\nINCLUDES INVESTMENTS THAT WILL\nGO OUT AND BE ANNOUNCED LATER,\nWHICH IS SUPPORT FOR A BODY OF\nIMMIGRANT INCLUSION SERVICES, I\nMENTIONED EARLIER THE FEDERAL\nFUNDING LOSSES THAT WE HAVE\nSEEN, FOR NATURALIZATION, ESL,\nTHE LEGAL ORIENTATION PROGRAM,\nALSO WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE\nCOMMUNITY RESPONSE FOR DETAINED\nINDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES, AND\nFOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN\nLEARNING MORE ABOUT THIS AND UP\nCOMING OPPORTUNITIES COME TO OUR\nWEBSITE, THERE IS A LINK HERE IN\nTHE SLIDE. AND THEN WE PROVIDE\nREGULAR UPDATES AND RESOURCES\nTHROUGH OUR MONTHLY NEWS LETTER,\nOUR BLOG, AND SOCIAL MEDIA,\nPLEASE STAY CONNECTED WITH US\nAND STAY INFORMED AND THE\nINFORMATION IS HERE ON THE\nSCREEN. AND I WILL STOP THERE.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, DIRECTOR, IT IS\nCLEAR YOU AND YOUR TEAM, AND\nTHANK YOU TO YOUR TEAM, SOME OF\nWHICH ARE IN THE AUDIENCE, NICE\nTO SEE YOU AGAIN, ARE DOING A\nLOT. AND I WANT TO ALSO\nACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS ONLY PART OF\nTHE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE\nFUNDS, AND SINCE THIS IS ONGOING\nIN YOUR BUDGET, YOU ARE WORKING\nON FUTURE YEARS, AND LOOKING AT\nHOW WELL THINGS ARE GOING AND\nSORT OF, DID WE COVER THE NEED\nTHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT COMMUNITY\nNEEDS AT THE MOMENT, BECAUSE YOU\nWANT TO BE NIMBLE IN YEARS AND\nWE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL\nHAPPEN IN THE FUTURE TOO.\nTHAT IS RIGHT. THE LANDSCAPE\nIS CONSTANTLY CHANGING, AND WE\nNEED BE RESPONSIVE AND TAKE A\nLOOK, KEEP LISTENING AND\nPIVOTING WHEN WE NEED TO.\nTHANK YOU. THANK YOU,\nDIRECTOR, AND I HEAR FROM, AND I\nHAVE SPOKEN WITH SOME FOLKS IN\nOUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY IN TOWN,\nAND THEY ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR\nOIRAs AND THE CITY'S COLLECTIVE\nEFFORTS AND THAT IS IS ALWAYS\nREALLY, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE\nHEARING THAT FROM COMMUNITY,\nBECAUSE I KNOW WE ALL WANT TO DO\nWHAT WE CAN TO HELP.
