Establishing an office of Puerto Rico-New York City affairs.

A Local Law to amend the New York city charter, in relation to establishing an office of Puerto Rico-New York City affairs

This bill would require the creation of an Office of Puerto Rico-New York City Affairs, which would be responsible for providing services to former residents of Puerto Rico and descendants of residents of Puerto Rico. These services would include assistance to people displaced from Puerto Rico, assistance in completing applications to obtain vital documents from Puerto Rico and applications for governmental programs, and referrals to organizations that may be able to offer assistance. The Director of Puerto Rico-New York City Affairs would make efforts to work with the government of Puerto Rico to provide these services.
