On Monday, October 27, the Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) and the Seattle Foundation hosted an intimate community event announcing all of the awardees of the $429,000 raised from the Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwid e.

This process began back in April 2022, when Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell reached out to the Seattle Symphony and local Ukrainian artists to organize this fundraising event. King County Executive Dow Constantine and 33 other King County mayors also joined in sponsoring this live free program that was also streamed online. The sold-out show raised $429,000, with 70 percent of funds going towards organizations helping Ukrainians both abroad and in King County, and 30 percent going towards nonprofits assisting other refugees locally. The 30 percent portion of money was referred to as the Seattle Refug e e Fund.

The awardees and their amounts from each funding source include:

30% of the Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwide (Seattle Refugee Fund)

CAIR Washington: $32,000
Entre Hermanos: $32,000
Tigrean Community Association: $32,000
West African Community Council (WACC): $32,000

70% of the Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwide

International Rescue Community in Seattle, Washington: $86,000
Ukrainian Community Center of Washington: $215,000

“This fund and the awardees do not just reflect the values of the government of the City of Seattle, but of our welcoming residents for which our city is known for,” said OIRA Director Hamdi Mohamed in her presentation welcoming the attendees. “The Mayor is committed to Seattle continuing to stand alongside our Ukrainian neighbors, the immigrant and refugee community, and the people of Ukraine. And the City of Seattle stands with all refugees who are in need of relief and a path to a better life – supporting them will continue to be a priority.”

Representatives from each organization were present to accept their oversized check awards (as well as actual checks) and talk more about their work.

Tigrean Community Association Executive Director Fitsum-Birhan Beyene who received the check on behalf of his organization mentioned that he had recently became a U.S. citizen, after 17 years of living in the United States. He mentioned the severe humanitarian crisis in the Tigray Region and implored City leaders to mention this situation in future public remarks.

Nicky Smith and Iryna Pynda representing International Rescue Community in Seattle, Washington and Ukrainian Community Center of Washington respectively were also in attendance. These two organizations were not Seattle Refugee Fund awardees. Rather, combined they had already received the 70 percent ($301,000) of funds raised from the concert intended for organizations specifically providing assistance to Ukrainians both here and abroad.

About the Seattle Refugee Fund LOI Process

In July 2022, OIRA sought out Letters of Intent (LOI) from nonprofit and religious organizations to apply to receive $128,000 of funding from the Seattle Refugee Fund through the Seattle Foundation. The process yielded 29 applicants that were all ranked on a scale of one through five on a series of criteria including program model and equity and social justice.

The review panel consisted of two OIRA staff members and one member from the Seattle Immigrant Refugee Commission. Each reviewer completed their review independently without knowledge of the others’ scores. The funding was divided up between the applicants with the combined highest ratings. The applicants with the highest total scores were: Entre Hermanos , West African Community Council , CAIR WA , and Tigrean Community Association.

If you know of someone who has recently arrived in Seattle from another country and is in need of assistance, they can contact:

Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA): this City of Seattle department focuses on helping immigrants and refugees and invests in community-based organizations that help immigrants and refugees. You can call (206) 727-8515 or email oira@seattle.gov.
Washington Immigrant Rights Solidarity Network (WAISN): a statewide nonprofit organization that manages a hotline where operators can inform immigrants of resources near them. You can call: (844) 724-3737, hotline open every day from 6 AM to 6 PM.

If the individual is limited in their English proficiency, they should inform the operator that they require an interpreter.

The Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) seeks Letters of Intent (LOI) from community-based agencies interested in contributing to a stronger network of naturalization services in Seattle in 2023 and 2024 through the New Citizen Campaign (NCC).

About the New Citizen Campaign

The New Citizen Campaign (NCC) is one of two citizenship program models within OIRA. NCC seeks to increase the numbers of immigrants and refugees who naturalize and engage in civic processes, utilizing multiple strategies that include providing naturalization assistance through group processing clinics and workshops, conducting broad-based outreach, promoting the benefits of citizenship, and engaging with local and national partners.

NCC also seeks to build strong partnerships among partner organizations to support a collaborative network (referred to here as “table”) of citizenship service providers in Seattle. NCC services complement and work in alignment with OIRA’s New Citizen Program (NCP), a case-management naturalization service model.

2023-24 Program Goals

NCC’s focus is on expanding access to the U.S. citizenship application process, with the intent to serve immigrant and refugee populations that do not currently access citizenship services or have newly become eligible to naturalize. NCC also places a high priority on serving the geographic regions of the city where fewer such services are available.

NCC partners will be a part of a collaborative table that helps shape and strengthen the work of the Campaign.
NCC will continue to offer citizenship application assistance clinics in 2023 and 2024. NCC clinics offer an alternative to traditional case management legal services, and most applicants end up filing their applications without ongoing legal representation. This “low-touch” approach increases access to citizenship services to low- and middle-income residents who are not eligible for other free naturalization services, but who cannot afford private legal assistance.
NCC also aims to support participants on the path to citizenship through education about the citizenship process and benefits, help in collecting the necessary information and documents, and referrals to upcoming clinics or case management services, according to their individual needs.

Who Should Apply?

Applicants must meet the following minimum qualifications:

Be a nonprofit organization with a 501(c)3 status or have a fiscal sponsor with a 501(c)3 status.*
Have prior experience providing naturalization or citizenship navigation services in Seattle.
Have an interest in supporting naturalization through collaborative and innovative approaches.

*The City of Seattle requires both fiscal sponsor and organization providing services to sign the NCC contract and for fiscal sponsor and organization providing services to have a written agreement between them defining roles.

Contracts and Funds Available

Total anticipated funds available: $240,000 per year subject to the continuing appropriation authority of the Seattle City Council. Typical NCC contract awards range from $15,000 to $20,000 annually.

Contract period: January 2023 to December 31, 2024. Funding for 2024 will be contingent upon performance and Seattle City Council budget appropriation.

NCC LOI Zoom Information Session Video Recording

On September 20, 2022, OIRA held a Zoom Information Session for interested organizations to ask questions about the LOI process and about NCC. We have made the session available here for other organizations who were not able to attend and who might have similar questions.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Updated 10/6/2022

The below questions were submitted from prospective applicants either during the September 20th Information Session or submitted to OIRA through other means, such as email. In the interest of transparency, we have included the questions and our answers below. We shall add to the FAQ list as we receive additional questions.

1. Is this a different source of funding than NCP?

Yes, OIRA has two citizenship programs: New Citizen Campaign (NCC), which is the current open LOI process and New Citizen Program (NCP). Both programs receive funding from the City of Seattle General Fund, but they are two separate programs for the purposes of this LOI and subsequent contracts.

2. What’s the difference between NCC and NCP? Is this the clinic model?

NCC is based on a “clinic model” of services. The differences between NCC and NCP are discussed in the LOI Guidelines document under the Background and 2023-24 Program Goals sections.The most important differences between NCC and NCP are that:

NCC serves participants through one-time, limited services, such as in a legal clinic while NCP provides ongoing legal representation to clients.
NCC serves participants whose cases are straightforward enough to apply for citizenship without ongoing representation or case management legal services such as those provided by NCP.
NCC serves participants who are not eligible for NCP services but who are low- and middle- income residents who cannot afford private legal assistance.

3. We have DOJ-accredited representatives on staff, but no attorneys. If we were to co-lead a clinic, would it be allowable to partner with an agency with attorneys?

Yes, at least one of the agencies co-leading a clinic must have either a DOJ-accredited representative or an attorney on staff managing the legal aspects of the clinic. Having a DOJ representative on staff of one of the co-lead agencies is sufficient. An agency without any legal staff should plan to partner with an agency with legal staff to host a clinic.

An agency does not need to have a firm partner in mind in order to apply to be a clinic co-lead agency. However, they must be willing to be paired with another NCC partner agency once contracts are signed. For example, an agency without legal staff can apply to be a clinic co-lead without a firm idea of who their partner would be, as long as they acknowledge that they will need to be paired with an agency with legal staff in order to plan and run the clinic.

4. Is there a list of volunteer attorneys who can help with clinics?

As found in the LOI Guidelines document within Appendix I – Scope of Work Details, and Appendix II – Clinic Options Menu, clinic co-lead partner agencies are responsible for volunteer recruitment, but OIRA will assist as possible.

NCC and OIRA have worked with many volunteer attorneys over the years along with American Immigration Lawyers Association of Washington (AILA-WA) for help recruiting attorneys and will continue to do so. NCC has worked less frequently with volunteers in the past two years due to limited event size for COVID-19 precautions, which makes volunteer recruitment more challenging.

5. Is $20,000 the maximum contract amount available?

Within the LOI Guidelines Overview and Contract sections, the typical range for NCC contracts is listed as $15,000 to $20,000. Contracts can be larger or smaller than that range, but this is listed to give applicants an idea of what is common for most NCC contracts. NCC contracts are typically not large enough to sustain a full- or part-time staff person but are reflective of the project-based work of preparing NCC clinics. Applicants may propose funding amounts under $15,000 or over $20,000.

6. If we are thinking of this as a network, with different organizations with different roles, will there be quarterly meetings to let everyone know how participation is going?

Yes, there are regular meetings between NCC partners. Current partners participate in monthly 2-hour meetings—the first hour is open for regular agenda items, and the second is held to discuss policy or case questions. We have tried different models in the past, and we are open to hearing other ideas. The emphasis is on checking in with one another. Until we get contracts in place, this won’t be finalized, but we will likely continue to have once-a-month meetings.

7. How many clinics in a year are we anticipating?

We will have completed 8-9 clinics for this year (January 2022- October 2022). There has been one clinic a month along with one mini-clinic.

Currently, partners are using a mix of remote and in-person services, and typically 20-25 participants are served per regular clinic. Five to ten participants are served during mini-clinics. Many partners hold two clinics per year, sometimes three. Clinic work fits outside of an organization’s case management model, so 2-3 clinics annually has seemed to work well for many organizations.

8. With the advent of COVID, some groups have organized “rolling” clinics where services are provided over the course of the month to align with attorneys’ schedules, as opposed to a single day event. Are the former types of clinics permitted?

Yes, both types are acceptable. The type of model just influences how you would plan and execute the clinic. For the purposes of the LOI, the focus should be on which model best meets the needs of the community you wish to serve. Flexibility is still very important. For example, community members might need a remote option because they are working and can’t attend a weekend in-person event. On the other hand, a remote model using Zoom meetings would not be a good fit if members of your community face technology barriers.

9. Do you want organizations to submit the LOI together, if they are planning on working together? If we just wanted to do technical assistance and would be open to partnering with anyone, is that allowed?

Assuming both partners want to receive funding, both should apply. OIRA may ask selected applicants to work in specific partnerships. If you already have an idea of who you want to work with, please include that in your application. You can specify a specific type of organization that you’d like to support (with navigation and referral for example) or you can name a specific agency, or neither, if you don’t have a preference. It’s great if you coordinate with one another, but it is not necessary.

10. Can we use subcontractors?

Subcontractors will not be permitted for this funding opportunity.

11. We are a nonprofit, and part of our work involves managing a public radio station. Can we apply for this funding?

That is something you can propose. This could be part of a proposal for Clinic Leadership or for Citizenship Navigation, or could potentially fit into Technical Assistance (TA). In general TA is a bit more open-ended, while clinic leadership and navigation work is a bit more prescriptive. NCC values innovation and trying new things, but please read through the Guidelines document carefully to ensure your proposal fits within whatever role you propose to fill. Additionally, NCC has traditionally worked with ethnic media outlets for paid and earned media to promote the clinics.

12. I work for a large organization. Is it possible to submit multiple applications for a single organization, or just one?

Our preference is that each organization submit just one application, to help organize the panel’s review and minimize contract administration workload. If the structure of the organization is separate, it would be permissible to follow that structure, especially if applying for different roles. OIRA would be unlikely to award multiple, distinct contracts to the same organization for NCC, although exceptions are possible if serving different populations, etc.

13. For a single agency applying for multiple roles, should each application be within the $15,000-$20,000 range, or should we stay within that range overall?

The $15,000-$20,000 range is just for reference. Awards could be smaller or larger. Please keep in mind that the total funding available is $240,000 and we fund multiple agencies. OIRA reserves the right to offer selected applicants contracts above or below the amount specified in the application and will work with all successful applicants to effectively and equitably distribute available funding.

14. Is there a requirement for the agency to have an attorney on its staff or board in order to be considered for the RFP?

An agency is not required to have an attorney on their staff or board in order to be considered for funding. Minimum qualifications for applicants are listed below.

Be a nonprofit organization with a 501(c)3 status or have a fiscal sponsor with a 501(c)3 status.
Have prior experience providing naturalization or citizenship navigation services in Seattle.
Have an interest in supporting naturalization through collaborative and innovative approaches.

Appendix I in the NCC LOI Guidelines document describes the different roles among NCC partners: Clinic Leadership and Implementation, Citizenship Navigation and Participant Preparation, and Technical Assistance and Legal Expertise. Note that if an agency without any legal staff wanted to co-lead a clinic, they would be required to partner with an agency with legal staff.

15. Are you looking for a place to have clinics and workshops?

We are most definitely looking for places to host clinics. In the past, we have worked with community centers, places of worship, and other community-based organizations to host events. We welcome free spaces but also make some room in the budget to pay for space rentals and/or staffing. If you are interested in collaborating in this way, this would most likely fall outside this Letter of Intent process unless there is interest in supporting the other aspects of clinic leadership or other NCC roles as outlined in the LOI Guidelines document.

16. Our agencies would like to work together to hold one or two events to meet the NCC contract goal. We think both agencies will provide the three services listed on the guidelines: 1) Clinic Leadership and Implementation 2) Citizenship Navigation and Participant Preparation 3) Technical Assistance and Legal Expertise. It is possible that one agency might do more in one type of service, but none of us can only provide one type of service without touching the others. Therefore, we are wondering whether both agencies can apply for all three kinds of service in its own LOI.

Assuming both partners want to receive funding, both should apply. OIRA may ask selected applicants to work in specific partnerships. If you already have an idea of whom you want to work with, please include that in your application.

It is fine for both agencies to apply for all three roles or services listed in the LOI Guidelines. Please read the LOI Guidelines within Appendix I – Scope of Work Details carefully and the application questions related to each role. Many of the duties required to complete a clinic in the Clinic Leadership and Implementation role are closely related to the work required for Citizenship Navigation and Technical Assistance roles. For example, offering feedback on case questions or participant eligibility to your co-lead agency for your own clinic would typically fall within the scope of Clinic Leadership and Implementation (not Citizenship Navigation or Technical Assistance). On the other hand, providing technical assistance to the broader NCC table or other partners would likely fall under the Technical Assistance role.

Additionally, offering insights and feedback to the group in meetings and debrief conversations is part of the expectations of NCC table participatio, and would not constitute services under the Technical Assistance role.

Thành Phố đã thông báo trước đó rằng Thành Phố sẽ mở tám điểm vui chơi giải trí không cần đăng ký trước cho học sinh trong độ tuổi đi học bắt đầu từ Thứ Hai.

“Khi chúng tôi tiếp tục hỗ trợ trẻ em và gia đình ở Seattle, chính quyền, các ban ngành, và nhân viên của Thành Phố sẽ hợp tác với phụ huynh và các nhóm cộng đồng để phân phát bữa trưa và kết nối thanh thiếu niên với thực phẩm, sự an toàn, và ổn định mà các em cần để phát triển khỏe mạnh,” Thị Trưởng Bruce Harrell cho biết.

A New Face Around the OIRA Office!

August 10, 2022 by Joaquin Uy Leave a Comment

Alessandra (Alex) Roque, External Affairs Intern

My name is Alessandra (Alex) Roque (she/her), and I’m delighted to join the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) as the newest External Affairs Intern. This fall, I will start my junior year at the University of Washington as a Law, Societies, and Justice major, having recently completed the Associate of Arts program at Seattle Central College.

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, and after years apart, I finally reunited with my family who came to the United States to pursue a better, stable life. They particularly wanted me, their youngest child, to receive a quality college education that was much more difficult to attain back home. I remember the immigration process as a difficult one for all of us. While we were lucky to have resources that helped us navigate the many complicated immigration protocols, we constantly feared that a single mistake would delay or completely unravel all our hard work. When I finally landed in Seattle, I realized that what we went through was only the beginning of our challenges.

From healthcare to housing to education, we struggled to navigate systems that felt unwelcoming. Whether we faced language or cultural barriers, we soon believed that it was our sole responsibility to navigate all these challenging processes alone. This narrative isolated us from forming intentional relationships with the community around us. It was a challenge to truly integrate into our new home.

However, I found a supportive community when I started volunteering and working with Seattle-based immigrant and refugee advocacy organization OneAmerica (OA).

I became passionate about the issues that impact immigrant and refugee communities because of my family’s experiences with navigating the immigration system and other similarly complicated processes in the U.S. Working with OA helped me foster these passions and more importantly, act on them. The highlight of my experience with OA was when I worked directly on their Language Access Campaign as a core leader, where I helped organize a youth-led and centered committee. We coordinated and facilitated meetings with elected officials, government agencies, and other key stakeholders to gather essential information for our campaign. Our work directly led to the successful passage of the Language Access Bill (HB1153) in 2022. This state bill increases language access services in K-12 schools across Washington, a major victory for immigrant families.

Before joining OIRA, I served as a constituent services intern at Senator Patty Murray’s Office. I researched various issues and helped the office respond to constituent needs, from relaying constituent opinions on state and federal issues to helping them receive assistance regarding immigration or veteran affairs. Learning firsthand how government offices can benefit local residents solidified my passion for serving the communities around me.

From serving at a nonprofit to interning at a senate office, my background and work experience has shown me there are endless ways to improve the experiences and lives of immigrants and refugees. This could take the form of federal immigration reform, improved language accessibility in local schools, or even equitable community outreach. With my time at OIRA, I hope to familiarize myself with all the different ways a local government can serve Seattle’s immigrant and refugee population, particularly through making sure that important information and resources are accessible to all immigrant and refugee residents.

Volunteers sought for 4-day free clinic providing eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to people in impacted by COVID-19 received a total of $16,179,000 in financial aid

After a two-year hiatus, the Seattle/King County Clinic will re-open at Seattle Center from October 20-23. Clinic services will be smaller this year, providing free eye exams and free prescription eyeglasses to more than 1,000 people in need. To meet this ambitious goal, organizers are recruiting hundreds of volunteers for the undertaking. Although no dental or medical care will be offered this year, the clinic still expects the interest from prospective patients to be high.

“It’s incredibly difficult to work, go to school or just get through the day if you have vision problems that affect driving, reading, or seeing, but so many people don’t have access to the vision services they need,” said Dennis Worsham, Interim Director of Public Health – Seattle & King County. “Even if you have health insurance, many plans don’t cover vision care, and there are almost no options for free or low-cost prescription glasses. Seattle/King County Clinic provides immediate relief to people who face barriers to getting critical vision care.”

The clinic needs volunteer eye care professionals, social workers, health insurance navigators, interpreters and other general support personnel to fill a range of functions and shifts. The clinic also seeks volunteers later this year in early December to help dispense the prescription eyeglasses that are ordered during the clinic. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Individuals may register at seattlecenter.org/volunteers.

Led by Seattle Center and Seattle Center Foundation, the Seattle/King County Clinic is produced in partnership with healthcare organizations, civic agencies, nonprofits and private businesses. More than 22,000 volunteers have served as the backbone of the clinic since its inception in 2014. Together these partners and volunteers address acute health issues among people who routinely face barriers getting the care they need. Clinic outcomes speak to the accomplishments of this effort in responding to a profound need in our community for accessible and affordable healthcare.

“Every person deserves access to quality vision and health care, but, sadly, the existing costly, cumbersome, and racially inequitable system causes too many to fall through the cracks without getting the support they need,” said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. “Seattle/King County Clinic is a great example for how we can create change and foster a healthier community by coming together through trust and collaboration.”

In its first six years, the clinic provided $20 million in direct services to 23,000 patients who came from over 260 unique ZIP codes and spoke more than 50 primary languages. Clinic patients are parents, children, elders, veterans, immigrants, refugees, people living homeless and, in large part, wage-earners who struggle with the high cost of living.

The commitment to produce an event of this magnitude represents the dedication of a caring community to address healthcare issues at the local level, make a difference for those who struggle to access and afford care, and raise awareness about who is left out of the current healthcare system.

La Clínica de Seattle/Condado de King regresa con servicios para la vista después de su pausa por la pandemia

Se buscan voluntarios para ayudar en una campaña de 4 días que ofrece exámenes de la vista y lentes graduados gratis a personas necesitadas

Tras una pausa de dos años, la Clínica de Seattle/Condado de King volverá a abrir sus puertas en el Seattle Center del 20 al 23 de octubre. Los servicios de la clínica serán reducidos este año, proporcionando exámenes de la vista y lentes graduados gratuitos a más de 1,000 personas necesitadas. Para lograr esta ambiciosa meta, los organizadores están reclutando a cientos de voluntarios para la campaña. Aunque este año no se ofrecerá atención dental ni médica, la clínica espera que el interés de los posibles pacientes sea alto.

“Es increíblemente difícil trabajar, ir a la escuela o simplemente vivir día a día si uno tiene problemas de la vista que afectan la habilidad para conducir, leer o ver, pero hay tantas personas que no tienen acceso a los servicios de la vista que necesitan”, dijo Dennis Worsham, director interino del Departamento de Salud Pública de Seattle y del Condado de King. “Incluso si se tiene seguro médico, muchos planes no cubren la atención de la vista, y casi no hay opciones para obtener lentes graduados gratuitos o de bajo costo. La Clínica de Seattle/Condado de King proporciona ayuda inmediata a las personas que enfrentan barreras para obtener atención crítica para la vista”.

La clínica necesita voluntarios que sean profesionales oftalmológicos, trabajadores sociales, navegadores de seguros médicos, intérpretes y otro personal de apoyo general para cubrir una serie de funciones y turnos. La clínica también busca voluntarios para finales de este año, a principios de diciembre, para ayudar a distribuir los lentes graduados que sea ordenados durante esta campaña. Los voluntarios deben tener al menos 18 años. Los interesados pueden inscribirse en seattlecenter.org/volunteers.

Dirigida por el Seattle Center y la Fundación Seattle Center, la Clínica de Seattle/Condado de King se produce en colaboración con organizaciones de salud, agencias cívicas, organizaciones sin fines de lucro y empresas privadas. Más de 22,000 voluntarios han sido el pilar de la clínica desde su creación en el 2014. Juntos, estos colaboradores y voluntarios abordan problemas graves de salud que afectan a personas que habitualmente enfrentan obstáculos para obtener la atención que necesitan. Los resultados de la clínica ponen de manifiesto los logros de este esfuerzo destinado a responder a la profunda necesidad en nuestra comunidad de contar con servicios de atención médica accesibles y económicos.

“Todas las personas merecen tener acceso a servicios de atención médica y de la vista de calidad, pero, lamentablemente, el sistema actual, costoso, complicado y desigual en términos raciales, hace que demasiadas personas se queden sin recibir la ayuda que necesitan”, dijo el alcalde de Seattle, Bruce Harrell. “La Clínica de Seattle/Condado de King es un gran ejemplo de cómo podemos crear un cambio y fomentar una comunidad más sana uniéndonos mediante la confianza y la colaboración”.

En sus primeros seis años, la clínica proporcionó $20 millones en servicios directos a 23,000 pacientes que provenían de más de 260 códigos postales únicos y hablaban más de 50 idiomas principales. Los pacientes de la clínica son padres, niños, ancianos, veteranos, inmigrantes, refugiados, personas sin hogar y, en gran parte, trabajadores asalariados que enfrentan dificultades por el alto costo de vida.

El compromiso de producir un evento de esta magnitud representa el empeño de una comunidad solidaria por abordar los problemas de la atención médica a nivel local, marcar la diferencia para quienes batallan por acceder y costear la atención médica, además de generar una mayor conciencia sobre quiénes quedan excluidos del sistema de salud actual.

受到疫情而中斷的西雅圖/金縣診所視力服務即將恢復

為期四天的免費診所正在徵求志工，為有困難的民眾提供視力檢查以及配眼鏡的服務

在中斷兩年後，西雅圖/金縣診所將於 10 月 20 日至 23 日在西雅圖中心重新開放。今年的診所服務規模將比往年小，為 1,000 多名有困難的民眾提供免費視力檢查和處方眼鏡。為了達成此規模宏大的目標，活動組織單位正在招募數百名志工來參與這項工作。儘管今年不會提供牙科或醫療保健，但診所仍預測將受到潛在患者的熱烈迴響。

「如果您的視力問題已影響到開車、閱讀或看東西，這會造成您工作、上學及日常生活變得非常困難，但即使這樣，很多人仍無法獲得他們所需要的視力服務，」西雅圖和金縣公共衛生部臨時主任 Dennis Worsham 說道。「即使您有健康保險，許多保險內容也不包括視力保健，而且幾乎沒有免費或低價處方眼鏡的選擇。西雅圖/金縣診所旨在為那些有困難的民眾提供即時紓困的視力保健服務。」

此診所將需要眼睛保健專業人員、社工、健康保險解說員、口譯員和其他志工來輪班及支持一系列的工作。同時，此診所也正在招募志工，負責在今年12 月初發放在診期間所配的處方眼鏡。志工必須年滿 18 歲。有意願的民眾可上seattlecenter.org/volunteers註冊。

西雅圖/金縣診所在西雅圖中心和西雅圖中心基金會的領導下，與醫療保健組織、民間機構、非營利組織和私營企業合作創建。自 2014 年成立以來，已有超過 22,000 名的志工參與，他們都是此診所的支柱。這些合作夥伴和志工聯手為許多無法獲得定期醫療照顧的民眾解決了他們嚴重的健康問題。此診所的成果證實了我們社區對提供易取得及可負擔的醫療保健迫切需求方面的工作所達到的成就。

「每個人都應該要能夠得到高品質的視力和醫療保健，但很遺憾的是，目前昂貴、繁瑣和種族不平等的制度使得太多的人被忽略而沒有得到他們所需要的支持，」西雅圖市市長 Bruce Harrell 說道。「西雅圖/金縣診所就是一個透過信任與合作來創造變革和打造一個更健康的社區的好榜樣。」

在最初的六年中，此診所為 23,000 名病患直接提供了 2 千萬美元的服務，這些病患來自於 260 多個不同的郵遞區號，使用超過 50 種主要語言。診所病患包括父母、兒童、老人、退伍軍人、新移民、難民、無家可歸者，大多數的人都是那些辛苦在應付高昂生活成本的工薪階層。

舉辦如此規模浩大的活動代表了本社區對居民的關愛與承諾，致力於解決地方層面的醫療保健問題，為那些無法獲得和負擔醫療服務的民眾帶來生活的改變，並增加人們對於當前醫療保健系統限制的認識。

대유행으로 중단되었던 시애틀/킹카운티 클리닉이 안과 서비스와 함께 재개합니다

도움이 필요한 사람들에게 시력 검사와 처방 안경을 제공하는, 4일 간의 무료 클리닉을 위해 자원봉사자를 찾습니다

2년간의 공백 기간 끝에 시애틀/킹카운티 클리닉(Seattle/King County Clinic)은 10월 20일부터 23일까지 시애틀 센터(Seattle Center)에서 다시 문을 엽니다. 올해는 클리닉 서비스가 더 축소될 것이며, 도움이 필요한 1,000명 이상의 사람들에게 무료 시력 검사와 무료 처방 안경을 제공할 것입니다. 이 야심찬 목표를 달성하기 위해 주최측은 해당 사업을 위한 수백 명의 자원봉사자를 모집하고 있습니다. 올해는 치과 또는 의료 서비스가 제공되지 않을 것이지만, 클리닉은 여전히 예비 환자들의 관심이 높을 것으로 예상합니다.

“운전, 읽는 것 또는 보는 것에 영향을 미치는 시력 문제가 있는 경우 일하거나 학교에 가거나 하루를 보내는 것이 매우 어렵지만 많은 사람들이 필요한 안과 서비스를 이용할 수 없습니다.”라고 시애틀 및 킹카운티 공중 보건국(Public Health – Seattle & King County) 임시 책임자(Interim Director), Dennis Worsham은 말했습니다. “건강 보험에 가입되어 있더라도 많은 보험이 시력 서비스를 제공하지 않으며 무료 또는 저렴한 처방 안경에 대한 선택권은 거의 없습니다. 시애틀/킹카운티 클리닉은 중요한 시력 서비스를 받는 데 장벽에 직면한 사람들에게 즉각적인 해결책을 제공합니다. “

해당 클리닉은 다양한 역할과 근무 시간을 채우기 위해 자원봉사 안과 전문의, 사회 복지사, 건강 보험 안내원, 통역사 및 기타 일반 지원 인력이 필요합니다. 이 클리닉은 또한 올해 말 12월 초에 클리닉에서 주문한 처방 안경을 배부하는 데 도움을 줄 자원봉사자를 모집합니다. 자원봉사자는 만 18세 이상이어야 합니다. 원하시는 분들은 seattlecenter.org/volunteers에서 등록할 수 있습니다.

시애틀 센터와 시애틀 센터 재단(Seattle Center Foundation)이 이끄는 시애틀/킹카운티 클리닉은 의료 기관, 시민 기관, 비영리 단체 및 민간 기업과 협력하여 운영됩니다. 2014년 개원 이래로 22,000명 이상의 자원봉사자가 클리닉의 중추 역할을 해왔습니다. 이러한 협력 단체들과 자원봉사자들은 필요한 의료 서비스를 받는 데 일상적인 어려움을 겪는 사람들의 심각한 건강 문제를 해결합니다. 클리닉의 성과는 접근 가능하고 저렴한 의료 서비스를 필요로 하는 우리 지역 사회의 지대한 요구에 부응하려는 노력에 대한 성취입니다.

“모든 사람은 양질의 시력 및 의료 서비스를 받을 자격이 있지만, 안타깝게도, 기존의 비싸고, 번거롭고, 인종적으로 편파적인 시스템으로 인해 너무 많은 사람들이 필요한 지원을 받지 못하고 있습니다.”라고 시애틀 시장 Bruce Harrell이 말했습니다. “시애틀/킹카운티 클리닉은 우리가 신뢰와 협업을 통해 함께 변화를 만들고 더 건강한 커뮤니티를 양성할 수 있는 방법에 대한 하나의 훌륭한 예시입니다.”

처음 6년 동안 이 클리닉은 50개 이상의 언어를 사용하는 23,000명의 환자분들이 고유한 우편 번호를 사용하는 260개 이상의 지역에서 왔고, 우리는 2천만 달러 상당의 직접적인 서비스를 제공했습니다. 해당 클리닉의 환자들은 부모, 자녀, 노인, 재향 군인, 이민자, 난민, 노숙 경험자 및 대부분 높은 생활비로 어려움을 겪고 있는 임금 소득자입니다.

이 정도로 큰 규모의 행사를 진행하겠다는 약속은 지역 차원에서 의료 문제를 해결하며, 의료 서비스를 이용하고 비용을 감당하기 위해 애쓰는 사람들을 위해 변화를 만들고, 현 의료 서비스 시스템에서 소외된 사람들에 대한 인식을 높이기 위한, 배려하는 지역 사회의 헌신을 나타냅니다.

Phòng Khám Seattle / Quận King (Seattle/King County Clinic) Hoạt Động Trở Lại với Các Dịch Vụ Thị Lực Sau Sự Gián Đoạn vì Đại Dịch

Tìm kiếm các tình nguyện viên cho phòng khám để có thể cung cấp 4 ngày miễn phí dịch vụ kiểm tra thị lực và mắt kính theo toa cho những người cần giúp đỡ

Sau 2 năm gián đoạn, Phòng Khám Seattle / Quận King sẽ mở cửa trở lại tại Seattle Center từ ngày 20 đến ngày 23 tháng 10. Các dịch vụ phòng khám sẽ ít hơn trong năm nay, cung cấp dịch vụ kiểm tra thị lực và mắt kính theo toa miễn phí cho hơn 1,000 người cần giúp đỡ. Để đáp ứng mục tiêu đầy tham vọng này, các nhà tổ chức đang tuyển dụng hàng trăm tình nguyện viên cho công việc này. Mặc dù không cung cấp dịch vụ chăm sóc răng hoặc y tế trong năm nay, nhưng phòng khám vẫn dự đoán sự quan tâm của các bệnh nhân sắp tới sẽ cao.

Giám Đốc Lâm Thời về Y Tế Công Cộng – Seattle & Quận King, Dennis Worsham cho biết: “Thật vô cùng khó để đi làm, đi học hoặc chỉ sống một ngày bình thường nếu quý vị có vấn đề về thị lực gây ảnh hưởng đến việc lái xe, đọc, hoặc nhìn, nhưng rất nhiều người không được tiếp cận với các dịch vụ thị lực mà họ cần.” “Ngay cả khi quý vị có bảo hiểm y tế, nhiều chương trình không chi trả cho việc chăm sóc thị lực, và hầu như không có sự lựa chọn nào cho mắt kính theo toa miễn phí hoặc giá rẻ. Phòng Khám Seattle / Quận King cung cấp sự hỗ trợ ngay lập tức cho những người gặp phải rào cản trong việc tiếp cận dịch vụ chăm sóc thị lực quan trọng.”

Phòng khám cần các tình nguyện viên là những chuyên gia chăm sóc mắt, nhân viên xã hội, điều hướng bảo hiểm sức khỏe, thông dịch viên và các nhân viên hỗ trợ chung khác để thực hiện một loạt các chức năng và các ca làm việc. Phòng khám cũng tìm kiếm các tình nguyện viên vào cuối năm nay vào đầu tháng 12 để giúp phân phối mắt kính theo toa được đặt trong phòng khám. Tình nguyện viên phải từ 18 tuổi trở lên. Các cá nhân có thể đăng ký tại seattlecenter.org/volunteers.

Được lãnh đạo bởi Seattle Center và Tổ Chức Seattle Center (Seattle Center Foundation), Phòng Khám Seattle / Quận King được thành lập với sự hợp tác của các tổ chức chăm sóc sức khỏe, cơ quan dân sự, các tổ chức phi lợi nhuận và doanh nghiệp tư nhân. Hơn 22,000 tình nguyện viên đã đóng vai trò trụ cột của phòng khám kể từ khi thành lập vào năm 2014. Các đối tác và tình nguyện viên này cùng nhau giải quyết các vấn đề sức khỏe cấp tính giữa những người thường xuyên phải đối mặt với các rào cản trong việc tiếp cận sự chăm sóc mà họ cần. Kết quả của phòng khám nói lên những thành tựu của nỗ lực này trong việc đáp ứng nhu cầu sâu sắc trong cộng đồng của chúng ta về dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe dễ tiếp cận và giá cả phải chăng.

“Mọi người đều xứng đáng được tiếp cận với dịch vụ chăm sóc thị lực và chăm sóc sức khỏe có chất lượng, nhưng đáng buồn thay, hệ thống tốn kém, cồng kềnh và bất bình đẳng chủng tộc hiện có khiến quá nhiều người bị bỏ xót mà không nhận được sự hỗ trợ họ cần,” Thị Trưởng Seattle Bruce Harrell cho biết. “Phòng Khám Seattle / Quận King là một ví dụ tuyệt vời về cách chúng ta có thể tạo ra sự thay đổi và thúc đẩy một cộng đồng lành mạnh hơn bằng cách đến với nhau thông qua sự tin tưởng và cộng tác.”

Trong 6 năm đầu tiên, phòng khám đã cung cấp dịch vụ trực tiếp trị giá $20 triệu cho 23,000 bệnh nhân đến từ hơn 260 mã vùng ZIP code khác nhau và nói hơn 50 ngôn ngữ chính. Bệnh nhân tại phòng khám là cha mẹ, trẻ em, người lớn tuổi, cựu chiến binh, người nhập cư, người tị nạn, người sống vô gia cư và phần lớn là những người làm công ăn lương đang phải vật lộn với chi phí sinh hoạt cao.

Sự cam kết để tổ chức một sự kiện tầm cỡ như thế này thể hiện sự cống hiến của một cộng đồng quan tâm chu đáo trong việc giải quyết các vấn đề chăm sóc sức khỏe ở cấp địa phương, tạo ra sự khác biệt cho những người đang gặp khó khăn trong việc tiếp cận và có đủ khả năng chi trả các dịch vụ chăm sóc sức khỏe, đồng thời nâng cao nhận thức về những người bị bỏ rơi bởi hệ thống dịch vụ y tế hiện tại.

Greetings from the new director of the Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs!

Hamdi Mohamed, Director

I am so excited to announce that I have been officially sworn in as director of Seattle’s Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA). I am so thankful for this opportunity. As you know, the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs aims to improve the lives of Seattle’s immigrant and refugee communities by engaging them in decisions about the City of Seattle’s future and improving the City’s programs and services to meet the needs of all constituents.

My drive to serve as the OIRA director is rooted in my personal story and professional experience, which includes common struggles that many immigrant and refugee families here and across the nation continue to experience today. I often share the history of my family fleeing war and living unhoused for many years before coming to the U.S. as a Somali refugees. Because of my lived and professional experiences, I feel a deep need to advocate and serve our communities and ensure they have access to services, programs, and pathways to economic success.

Since joining OIRA, I have hit the ground running, meeting with community leaders and department directors, developing budget strategies, and conducting team-building activities. I have already met with over 30 community-based organization leaders and conducted needs assessment surveys from our program grantees to help inform our team about the most pressing community issues. I have led our office in responding to the evolving Afghan and Ukrainian refugee crises through regional partnerships. And I have brought my longstanding relationships with leaders on the federal, local, and state levels to ensure our offices work better together to address the region’s most urgent issues. My goal is to ensure OIRA meets the unique needs of Seattle’s most vulnerable immigrant and refugee communities and help provide the services and programs that have allowed me to be here today.

My high-level goals for OIRA are to maintain and expand our current programs and for us to set a pro-equity policy agenda for our office that addresses where the needs are greatest for immigrant and refugee populations. Here are my six priority areas:

Regional and Cross-Departmental Collaboration
Equitable Healthy Seattle Initiative
Advance Inclusive Economic Recovery
Ensure Seattle Continues to Welcome Refugees
Expand Safety and Access for Immigrant Families
Community Partnerships and Liaison Projects

I believe in servant leadership and a serve-first mindset, and I am focused on empowering and uplifting those who work on my team. My goal is to lead alongside our community members, and I look forward to engaging with you.

Seattle Refugee Fund Letter of Intent Details

OVERVIEW:

The Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) sought Letters of Intent (LOI) from nonprofit and religious 501(c)(3) organizations that provide services to refugees and other displaced people. Organizations to receive funding will be selected by the City of Seattle and will receive funding from the Seattle Refugee Fund through Seattle Foundation.

GOAL:

To provide service and/or help build partner capacity in serving displaced people and meet their basic and urgent needs.

BACKGROUND:

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in 2022, there are more than 100 million displaced people who have been forced from their homes worldwide, more than any time in recorded history. Earlier this spring, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, King County Executive Dow Constantine, and 36 other King County mayors organized a special benefit concert: The Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwide. Proceeds from the concert benefited the Seattle Refugee Fund, created to help the people of Ukraine and other refugees in our region. The City’s fiscal partner for this effort is Seattle Foundation.

The funds raised for the Seattle Refugee Fund will be distributed as follows:

70% is being used to help Ukrainians in Europe and in the Seattle/King County area through services offered by the Ukrainian Community Center of Washington and the International Rescue Committee.
30% will be used to provide services to other refugees in Seattle and King County (through organizations identified through this LOI process) OR services to refugees internationally.

FUNDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THIS LOI PROCESS:

Approximately $128,000 is available to be dispersed.

ANTICIPATED NUMBER AND AMOUNT OF AWARDS:

OIRA is planning to select 3 or 4 service providers to receive grants in the amount of $30,000 to $40,000 each.

WHO CAN APPLY:

Organizations that have:

A 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS or organizations fiscally sponsored by other 501(c)(3) organizations; and
Have an office located in King County, Washington; and
That intentionally serve any or all the following groups of people:
- Refugees
- Asylees
- Asylum applicants
- Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders
- Unaccompanied minors
- People displaced due to conflict and other emergencies outside of the U.S.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE:

LOIs must be received according to the instructions below by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on July 25, 2022.

AWARD DECISIONS AND CONTRACTING:

An LOI Review Panel will make recommendations to Seattle Foundation about disbursement of funds by the end of August 2022. Based on Seattle Refugee Fund intent and the LOI process recommendations of the Seattle OIRA Review Panel coming from this LOI process, Seattle Foundation will manage grant agreements with the selected service providers. Seattle Foundation will transfer funds (via wire or check), and the grant agreement will stipulate reporting requirements. Seattle OIRA will not be a party to these contracts. Anticipated contracted period is September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023.

The types of services to be funded will be determined based on the submittals received that comply with the goal stated above. The OIRA’s Review Panel decisions will be final.

Applicants may be asked to provide additional information or documents during the LOI review stage.

QUESTIONS:

Please contact Oksana Bilobran with the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs at oksana.bilobran@seattle.gov for any questions related to the application process.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Are applicants required to have budgets under $5 million?

No. It is not a requirement but a prioritization criteria. Smaller organizations will be prioritized for capacity-building support.

2. We are interested in applying for this funding opportunity because there is a gap in our community to help people to get political and humanitarian asylum. We would like to know if this funding can be used to assist people wish to apply for asylum, refugees, people escaping political prosecution in their country of origin, and victims of human trafficking, sexual harassment, discrimination and domestic violence who entered the U.S. without documentation/authorization.

This funding is available to be awarded to eligible organizations that serve any or all of these groups:

Refugees
Asylees
Asylum applicants
Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders
Unaccompanied minors
People displaced due to conflict and other emergencies outside of the U.S.

We interpret the word “refugee” in the broadest way because we understand that many people are unable to obtain this status but are still displaced from their country of origin. The groups of people described in the question are essentially displaced and most likely seeking protection under U.S. asylum laws. That would make them eligible for the services under this funding.

3. Can the “30% used to provide services to other refugees” be used for those who are seeking asylum or unaccompanied minors, in addition to those with legally designated refugee status?

This funding is available to be awarded to eligible organizations that serve any or all of these groups:

Refugees
Asylees
Asylum applicants
Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders
Unaccompanied minors
People displaced due to conflict and other emergencies outside of the U.S.

So this funding can not only serve “refugees” in the legal sense of that word. We interpret the word refugees in the broadest way because we understand that many people are unable to obtain this status but are still displaced from their country of origin.

4. Our organization had received initial funding from the Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwide. Are we permitted to re-apply for this new funding opportunity?

You are permitted to re-apply. However, if your organization has already received funds from the initial Seattle Refugee Fund, then the panel will likely prioritize access to funding for other organizations who have not received funds from the initial funding opportunity.

5. Are we able to utilize these funds to serve recently arrive Ukrainian migrants?

This current funding opportunity is reserved for immigrant communities other than Ukrainian Nationals, since the 70% of initial funding from the Mayors’ Concert for Ukraine and Refugees Worldwide was already allocated to help recent migrants from Ukraine.

Introducing the newest member of the OIRA team: Shilpa Salgar

June 29, 2022 by Joaquin Uy Leave a Comment

Shilpa Salgar, Special Projects and Policy Specialist

I am thrilled to join the Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) team as the Special Projects and Policy Specialist. I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to immigrant parents from India. Shortly after I was born, our family relocated to Miami, Florida, where I spent most of my childhood. I spent thirteen years living in a melting pot of culture, cuisine, and traditions and spent time with others from all walks of life. When I was a teenager, my family moved to Washington State while my older brother went to college.

After graduating from high school, I attended the University of Washington – Seattle, where I got my degree in Psychology and Law, Societies, and Justice. In college, I developed a deep interest in the issues surrounding immigrants and refugees in the United States, issues that my parents and extended family all experienced first-hand. I pursued opportunities that gave me a better insight into the intersection between immigrant and refugee rights and healthcare, workforce development, education, labor rights, and more.

Before joining OIRA, I served as the Immigration Caseworker for U.S. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. In this role, I collaborated with federal, state, and local departments and leaders to effectively implement initiatives and create solutions for immigrant and refugee populations. As the immigration caseworker, I helped numerous constituents effectively navigate their concerns with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of State.

I have also worked within the court system through the prosecutor’s office and with juvenile justice programs in roles focused on empowering youth through strengthening community partnerships and helping to reduce recidivism. I have also served as a campaign manager for a nationally recognized race, where I have overseen the hiring and training of employees, managed budgets, and served as a community liaison.

My time before OIRA helped me better understand our immigrant and refugee communities’ diverse challenges. At OIRA, my role includes shaping policy surrounding significant City of Seattle projects and mayoral priorities and assisting with outreach projects supporting immigrant and refugee communities. Through my work, I hope to create better opportunities for our immigrant and refugee communities. I plan to center the needs of our diverse communities and help shape policy that empowers our immigrants and refugees for years to come.
