Speaker 3
0:25:23
Well, I actually think in many ways, we are.
0:25:26
So I'll give an example of the is from the prior administration after we did the 2016 Community's assessment when food insecurity was realized to be such a priority area.
0:25:37
It it causes to reflect on the discretionary council funded food pantries in a different way.
0:25:42
So we've always been supporting that work but the opportunity to really amplify and raise further attention to that work became much clearer.
0:25:51
Another thing that I recall from the 2006 in committee needs assessment.
0:25:55
SYMP, which has a wide range of funding and is at a much larger scale than the federal programs we're talking about today through doing this neighborhood focused review in the communities assessment.
0:26:06
He saw that there are neighborhoods that were what we might have termed S YEP Deserts.
0:26:11
And so we had helpful conversations internally between community development and the youth workforce team about looking at program citing.
0:26:18
So the information that comes out of the needs assessment is tapped and is accessed throughout the the agency.
0:26:25
Annex journalally.
0:26:26
Like, we share this information with with other city agencies.
0:26:30
So over the course of the winter, we'll be finalizing report from the 2022 community needs assessment.
0:26:36
Once it's finalized, we'll certainly share it with the council, and we have every interest in sharing the information.
0:26:42
So it's not just attached to a particular RFP.
0:26:45
It's information that's made available generally and broadly.
0:26:48
And we do We have put them on our website, but we want to do more to not just our website.
0:26:53
We to try to market it more broadly.
0:26:54
We've talked with the mayor's office of engagement.
0:26:57
We think there's broader audiences than maybe there was in the past to shut and use the information.
