The funding cut from the Human Resources Administration's (HRA) budget does not represent the full cost of the current operations for We Care programs.
- The We Care program's budget is approximately $58,000,000 a year.
- The reduction mentioned is a relatively small portion of the total budget.
- Reductions apply only once new contracts are in effect, ensuring no current contractors lose funding.
- The funding for We Care programs is a mix within the HRA's budget.

Okay.

And is the funding cut from HRE's budget the full cost of the current operations for these programs?

I would turn the funding support.

It's in our budget, but I think it is a mix of both

But just to clarify, the WICARE budget is on the order of magnitude of about $58,000,000 a year.

And so this reduction is a relatively small care of that.

And it because it is only applicable once the new contracts go into effect, none of the existing contractors are losing money from their budget at this time.

Okay.
