Council Member Aviles raises shortage of legal service providers

Chair, if I may just wrap last question or maybe a little bit of a comment.

Definitely heartened to hear the increased investment in making sure that the hotline is a functional hotline, that there are people on the other end of that hotline.

I am interested in learning how we...

Are collaborating around the very real issue that we do not have enough legal service providers

physically present in our city to meet the need and what kind of alternatives are we creatively thinking about around how to

address some of that unmet need.

We may not get there entirely, but it feels like there's only so much we can do with a very finite element of resources.

So we'd love to have that deeper conversation with you all around what are the ways, how are we looking at the pipeline of legal support in our city to make sure that we continue to build into the future.

Thank you.
