This report will benefit organizations that are trying to implement incentives/policies in their city to support the undocumented community. Page 25 talks about policy recommendations, such as including $13 million in the FY2021 city budget to expand Care to more immigrant serving communities. This is done by citywide campaigns encouraging folks to seek mental health services without fear of eligibility and other requirements. Page 35 explains the challenges immigrants face and how to help people feel comfortable seeking treatment and services. Page 36 lists the six research initiatives on how to approach this issue.

This report is also directed at educators who can support students and children in schools by advocating and demanding more training and orientations to all staff on the impact of immigration policies on individual students and families. Page 21 explains how there's an increased demand in services for immigrant children. Also, there's a limited amount of mental health services in schools.
