Jasniya Sanchez clarifies that the funding for 'We Speak NYC' is housed under DCAS, not part of adult literacy funding, and not under DSS as corrected.

  • Funding is not housed under Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) or DSS but in DCAS.
  • The funding is not related to adult literacy.
  • There's no additional funding requested for Action NYC by MOIA.
