For all New Yorkers, and instead just focused on using it for newly arrived asylum seekers, what is the administration doing to promote enrollment for long time immigrants living in the city?

Again, you know, I have to defer to my colleagues at DSS, but what we've done in Moi is ensure that we're reaching out to all our immigrant communities and not just recently arrived immigrants, which is why we've set up different offices to manage specifically the Salem State Humanitarian crisis response, but we certainly we certainly work with a lot of CEOs that serve longer term immigrant communities, who we've hurt with, who we've heard from, that, you know, we need to do better at reaching out to longer term memory community.

So we've actively partnered with them to make sure that we're reaching out to them.
