Council Member Williams poses a question to the Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) regarding the criteria used to allocate services to poverty-affected areas, specifically referencing the consideration of families with 125 percent below the federal poverty level. The inquiry also touches on the territorial overlaps within districts and how these are managed in terms of service provision and Neighborhood Advisory Board (NAB) appointments.

Actually, if I could just ask one question before the safety question about the knobs, I know it says that it's in forty one areas.
1:08:53
Does it because I know I've been having a conversation with the chair because I know some of the areas is bad is bad poverty tracks, census tracks, like, how do they determine We

are looking at poverty in particular because of the CSBG act, we look at households with 125 percent federal poverty or or below.
Speaker 8
1:09:13
Okay.
1:09:13
And I will follow-up with chair and or aycd to figure out, like, my role because parts of my district are on that since it's tracked and parts aren't.
1:09:22
And so just wasn't sure, like, if it's really the speaker because we share community board 12, and that's the part that has some of those since this track.
1:09:33
So I just want to make sure that I could also appoint if there was any areas in my district or if if folds primarily in her district.
1:09:44
