Affirmative Immigration Legal Services

The County of San Mateo Office of Community Affairs (OCA) is seeking qualified firms and individuals to enter into a Master Agreement with the County to provide Affirmative Immigration Legal Services, which includes consultations, application preparation, community workshops, and limited-scope services for non-court immigration benefits. In the County, we value every resident, whatever their birthplace, language spoken, or immigration status. The OCA invites all potential proposers to review the three distinct requests for proposals (RFPs) for legal services: Affirmative Immigration Legal Services, Rapid Response Legal Services, and Limited-Scope Removal Defense Legal Services. Interested parties are welcome to submit proposals for one or more of these RFPs.

The County will be the administrator of resulting contracts only; the coordination is expected to be provider-led. All proposers must have an active membership, in good standing, with the State Bar of California and/or must be able to provide verification of such membership .

The County is committed to protecting and enhancing the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Through resources and education, the County seeks to expand access to relief for individuals and families to address immigration law policy change and to support a coordinated legal services ecosystem.
