Residents in one Brooklyn neighborhood are being encouraged to take advantage of free immigration services counseling. 

Local officials came out to Public School 24 in Sunset Park Saturday morning to inform immigrant families about legal resources they have access to.

The event is part of the City Council's "Key to the City" initiative, which aims to support the city's immigrant population.

"We provide the type of information that will empower vulnerable communities to seek assistance for themselves and their children," said Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez.

"The work that we're doing here with the New York Immigration Coalition is to make sure that everybody gets services — legal, healthcare, IDNYC — and other things that they need as family members to be able to prosper," said City Councilman Carlos Menchaca. "We want immigrant families to thrive and that's what we're doing here in Sunset Park."

The Key to the City initiative is a City Council-funded initiative led by the New York Immigration Coalition.
