Molly Wasow Park indicates it's too early to predict changes in the Department of Homeless Services' executive plan due to uncertainties with the state budget and other variables.
- The DHS needs to work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to assess the state budget's impact.
- The assessment will consider the pace of claims and federal government actions.
- It's too early to provide a clear answer due to numerous evolving factors.
- The DHS will provide updates as more information becomes available.

And given that the state and the city budget were released simultaneously this January, the funding swap made in the preliminary plan was made assuming that the level of state support the city would receive.

If the state budget is enacted as proposed, what changes does the h DHS anticipate it will need to make in the executive plan to accurately reflect the amount of state funding in the HSS budget.

We're going to have to work with OMB to determine what's happening with the state budget, what's happening not only with our budget, with but with all of the other agencies that are serving asylum seekers, how the pace of claim is going, anything that's happening with the federal government.

So with the number of variables going right now, I feel like it's too early to answer that question, but happy to start call back as we know more.
