Chair Lee Questions Attorney Retention and Flexible Funding
Chair Linda Lee asks how MOIA is advocating for funding to retain immigration attorneys and ensure flexible use of funds for legal services providers.
Great.
And two things really quickly I just want to uplift is that during our roundtable discussions with a lot of the uh providers, uh definitely ways to retain immigration attorneys, and if there's anything you all can do on your side to really emphasize to admin, OMB that we need extra funds to make sure that we're able to retain the attorneys with higher salaries and pay, that would be great.
And then, of course, purpose of funds, making sure that the funding can be flexible because there's a lot of different types of services that they need to provide.
And so those are two things I just wanted to highlight from our round table conversations.
Um and I'm gonna pause there and I have a couple questions, but let me move on to our to my co-chair, uh, Chair R Enconnacion.
