EXHIBIT A Some advocacy plans include facilitating visits from former clients and family members who have benefited from the program with council members and raising the visibility of success stories of long-time Santa Ana residents who have obtained relief through various social media and other outreach events. We also continue to participate in community forums to help educate the public about our removal defense project to ensure that Santa Ana residents are aware of these available services. ImmDef receives technical assistance from Vera and they collect data for us to report back to the city for advocacy. S) Vera has created a secure online database and will be collecting data on the legal services performed by the LSPs for the purposes of program management and reporting. Please indicate your willingness and plan to cooperate with Vera's data collection efforts. Please indicate which staff will be inputting data on to the database and how often this will be done. Also indicate which staff will be finalizing the submission of the data to Vera. Specifically address your organization's capabilities to continue to report on all cases represented by your organization under this grant through the ultimate dispositions of those cases, some of which will inevitably continue long after the end date of the subcontract. ImmDef has a long track record of successfully collecting and reporting on data through programs administered by the Vera Institute of Justice. Depending on the data that is to be gathered, data is initially submitted either by Staff Attorney or Paralegal, All data will be reviewed by the Managing Attorney and ultimately approved by our Legal Services Director prior to submission.
