Since Fiscal Year 2017, the Administration has funded the Immigrant Opportunity Initiative (IOI) program, through which networks of nonprofit legal providers and community-based organizations conduct outreach in immigrant communities across the city and provide legal assistance to low-income immigrant New Yorkers in matters ranging from citizenship and lawful permanent residency application to more complex immigration matters, including asylum applications and removal defense work. A critical element of the IOI program has been its flexibility and responsiveness to emergent needs. OCJ’s contracts with the IOI service provider consortia allow for rapid deployment of staff and resources to address emerging legal needs of the immigrant community. To ensure the continuity of critical immigrant legal services, OCJ requests authorization to procure a Negotiated Acquisition Extension to extend program services from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 (FY24) for a total amount of $2,873,484.03 - this amount includes the program base amount of $2,298,787.22 and a 25% Allowance amount of $574,696.81.
