The Mayor's Office for Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) meets with the Mayor's Office of Asylum Seeker Operations (OASO) almost daily to discuss asylum seekers' legal services needs and other immigrant services.
- Meetings occur almost every day, including a strategic planning meeting on Fridays.
- MOIA is in constant communication with OASO.
- Discussions cover a variety of issues, not just legal services for immigrants.
