Council Member Alexa Avilés inquires about contracts or plans to implement pro se legal services for youth eligible for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) across various city agencies. Representatives from MOIA, DYCD, and the Asylum Application Help Center respond, indicating limited or no current plans for such services.
- MOIA's new procurement provides flexibility but doesn't mandate pro se services
- DYCD is working on concept papers considering new needs but has no specific pro se plans
- The Asylum Application Help Center has a small pilot program but no immediate plans for expansion

Not Moiya.

The new procurement, Moi immigration legal support centers, provides a great deal of flexibility to providers to complete cases per se as they see fit and responsible in meeting the needs of the client.

However, it's not necessary deliverable.
