Scott French explains that not all 62 contracts are exclusively for HRA clients. He outlines various programs and their target populations.
- Some programs serve HRA clients with engagement requirements, while others are open to a broader low-income population
- Jobs Plus programs at NYCHA serve low-income individuals, not limited to cash assistance recipients
- The PACE program is for individuals 18 and older at or below 300% of the federal poverty level

They are not all exclusively for HRA clients.

They all can serve them, but there are, right, the career services and leak care contracts are for individuals on cash assistance who have engagement requirements.

There are other programs that we offer that serve HRA clients and other low income populations.

Obviously, we focus on catch assistance clients, snap recipients, Medicaid recipients, but it's those programs are not exclusively just for those individuals.
