Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced the formation of hubs at immigrant service organizations in all five boroughs of New York City that next spring will begin providing legal support to immigrants.

Participating legal service providers for the $7.9 million initiative, called ActionNYC, will hire eight lawyers to provide assistance to immigrants and delegate non-legal case management work such as preparing applications to trained navigators, according to the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs. The office will connect immigrants with relevant services, such as signing them up for municipal ID cards.
