linguistically appropriate services within city government;
2) Creating opportunities within city libraries, community centers, and
other public spaces to engage immigrants and refugees;
3) Developing networks of community-based service providers to
meet the comprehensive needs of immigrants and refugees;
4) Strengthen city policy as it relates to immigrant and refugee rights. OIRA will be a central point of contact within city government to assist in navigating community resources, including legal services, workforce development, early childhood, business development, and other wraparound support services to strengthen families.
