Case managers will work closely with shelter staff and the City to connect to nonprofits that assist with work, school, legal services, public benefits, housing, and stability. Legal Services  Programs to increase the capacity of legal providers to support recent arrivals. In addition to their own intake points for potential clients, funded nonprofits will accept referrals from City entities, such as case managers from shelters, hotlines, and the asylum application help center. Funding for legal services will support short-term efforts to help people apply for benefits and work authorization, along with the long-term efforts required for people to fight deportation and win lawful status. Legal services nonprofits may apply individually or through a primary nonprofit representing a consortium of providers.  Community-Based Social Services  Programs to help community groups connect or provide newcomers with public education, workforce development, job opportunities, workplace protection, English classes, and other services that support their integration into city life.
