One one of the I I just something out of curiosity just because on the provider end, is there you know, because the, the Trump administration has been so vocal about, you know, what their intentions are, I'm assuming that this is creating another layer of anxiety.
2:58:00
Is there, information that is required to be posted that informs residents, you know, specifically, like, migrant residents of what their rights are?
Christine Quinn
2:58:16
I we've given all of that out.
Diana Ayala
2:58:18
I'm sure that you have, but that'd be great.
2:58:20
But are you required to?
2:58:21
Because I I don't know.
2:58:22
Know.
2:58:23
I worry.
2:58:23
Okay.
2:58:24
So we'll we'll look into that.
2:58:25
Because I I think, you know, the the best way to arm people is with information.
2:58:28
And once people at least understand that so their rights, then that, you know, helps alleviate some of of those
UNKNOWN
2:58:35
concerns.
Christine Quinn
2:58:36
I'll check.
2:58:36
I don't know.
2:58:37
One other thing I just want to mention about data.
2:58:39
We, in in conjunction with the New York Legal Assistance Group, have put together a legal clinic lead, we call it, for our migrant clients.
2:58:47
Now we could tell you of the 160 that we've, worked with so far, who's done work training, who's gotten the job, who's done English language.
2:58:58
We have 2 staff people.
2:59:01
Right?
2:59:01
So I don't understand why the city can't tell you that data when we could.
Diana Ayala
2:59:05
Yeah.
2:59:06
Yeah.
2:59:06
Alright.
2:59:07

2:59:08
Thank you.
2:59:09
And thank you.
2:59:10
I know some of our our clients are gonna, you know, Zoom in or virtually come in Yes.
2:59:14
For giving them the opportunity and for making accommodations for anonymity.
Diana Ayala

2:59:20
