Council Member Hudson inquires about the fiscal year 2025 budget for kinship care contracts and the number of older adult caregivers served by contracted providers. Commissioner Cortés-Vázquez provides available data but needs to follow up on some information.
- The commissioner does not have immediate access to the FY 2025 budget information for kinship care contracts
- Data on the number of older adult caregivers served is provided for recent fiscal years:
- FY 2024: 5,485 individuals
- FY 2023: 5,015 individuals
- FY 2022: 5,349 individuals
- These numbers represent unduplicated clients, not the number of services provided
- There is currently no wait list for older adult kinship caregiving services

Right.
0:48:00
Want those numbers again?
0:48:01
Okay.
0:48:02
Yes.
0:48:02
So for '23, it was 05/2015, and for '22, it was 5,349.
0:48:10
And those are unduplicated clients.
0:48:13
So that's not number of services, that's just unduplicated clients.
Crystal Hudson
0:48:16
Right.
0:48:17
Understood.
0:48:18
Is there currently a wait list for older adult kinship caregiving services?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
0:48:25
No, there isn't a wait list.
0:48:27
Okay.
0:48:31
Although I should say this for the record, given that the state is distributing money based on waiting lists, we will have waiting lists from here on in.
