The program includes approximately 36 CBOs plus additional ones for technical assistance, with ongoing negotiations ensuring proper funding levels.
- Approximately 36 CBOs participate in the program, with more providing technical assistance.
- The Commissioner does not have the borough breakdown readily available but promises to follow up.
- No programmatic impact from the PEG on the CBOs, despite yearly changes in baseline funding.
- Negotiations with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are in progress to secure appropriate Citywide Development Loan (CDL) funding levels.

Do you know how many CBOs are part of the program?

I think it's approximately 36 plus another several doing technical assistance.
2:55:22
So yeah.
Crystal Hudson
2:55:23
Okay.
2:55:23
And then do you know the breakdown by borough?
Molly Wasow Park
2:55:26
Not off the top of my head, but happy to circle back with
Elise Benusa
2:55:28
you.
Crystal Hudson
2:55:28
Okay.
2:55:30
And can you confirm that there will be no programmatic impact to any of the CBOs in the program?
Molly Wasow Park
2:55:35
So there's no programmatic impact from the PEG.
2:55:38
As you may see the baseline funding for the program, it does change year over year.
2:55:44
We are currently in negotiations with OMB to ensure that we hit the right level of CDL funding.
Crystal Hudson
2:55:51
Okay.
2:55:52
We've heard from CBO providers that despite being granted a 3 year award, their initial contracts were for just 1 year.
2:55:58
Do you know the cause of that?
Molly Wasow Park
2:56:00
So the program is originally structured with setup on a calendar year basis.
2:56:04
We really need to be doing our contracts on a fiscal year basis, so we're in the process of aligning now.
Crystal Hudson
2:56:09
Okay.
