. >> mr. chu. >> good afternoon committee members. i am director the community department with the mayor's offices of community development. for the legal service portion many of you know that the board of supervisors and the mayor recently allocated over $1 million per year over a two-year period to support legal services to represent both these unaccompanied children and their family members. that figure was based on an estimate of 300 to 500 children and annual case load of approximately 40-50 cases per attorney, specially $100,000 per attorney. we are hoping that within the month of october and the next two weeks to issue a request for proposals to secure one provider or a set of providers. i think it will be a collaborative proposal with a lead organization that will house probably eight to 10 attorneys with the lead agency providing a lead attorney that will be responsible for the service coordination, liaison with the immigration court, with the school district, with legal service providers and the city that will on a regular b
