The Department of Social Services is yet to provide a total spending figure for FY24 emergency shelter medical services, emphasizing the significance of partnerships and utilization of mobile health units.
- Some emergency shelters have on-site medical services, while others rely on partnerships with community sites.
- The total FY24 expenditure on emergency shelter medical services requires reviewing individual contracts, indicating a complex accounting process.
- Partnerships with urgent care sites and community medical providers are considered vital for subsidizing costs.
- The department plans to make better use of Health and Hospital Corporation's mobile health units at drop-in centers.

And did the administration discuss exploring part benefits with urgent care sites such as CDMD or any other community medical providers to subsidize course.

So some of our emergency shelter sites have on-site medical, other others of them entirely depend on partnerships with community sites.

I think we will likely need to get back to you on the total spending because those are gonna be line items within individual contracts, so it's gonna take some work to pull.

But absolutely partnerships are really important One of our pegs in the plan this year is to make sure that we're using better use of the H and H show vans for providing medical care a drop in centers.
