Molly Schaeffer outlines efforts to support asylum seekers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients, and humanitarian parole recipients in light of the 30 to 60 day rule.
- Over 60% of individuals have left shelters, a movement influenced by the 30 to 60 day policies.
- The Mayor's Office of Asylum Seeker Operations (OASO) strives to connect these individuals with necessary appointments and services while under their care.
- OASO advises on address changes and makes it easier for individuals to receive mail, accommodating the immigration requirement for a permanent address.
- Council Member Rita Joseph highlights the importance of stable mailing addresses for immigration processes, prompting her inquiry about the policy's impact.

SO WE HAVE HAD MORE THAN 60% OF PEOPLE leave our shelters at this point and not have we've also had a fair amount of people before the 30 60 day policies came into place.
1:11:32
We try to do everything we can while people are in our care and connect them to the whatever we the appointments we have.
1:11:40
We also tell people about change of addresses.
1:11:43
We try to make it as easy as possible to come get mail, so we try to make this as easy as possible while they're in our care.
Rita Joseph
1:11:49
Yeah.
1:11:49
Because immigration wants a permanent address as to where folks get their mail.
1:11:53
They don't wanna be chased in anybody down.
1:11:55
So that's why I'm asking about the 30, 60 day rules.
1:12:01
That's why I'm asking for that.
1:12:04
