Commissioner Cortés-Vázquez provides information about the Mayor's Action Plan (MAP) program and its role in determining service areas for kinship care.
- The MAP program determined large geographic areas for service provision.
- There were challenges in identifying kinship caregivers among the general population in these areas.
- The program sometimes had upwards of a thousand people in an area, making it difficult to discern who were kinship caregivers.

Can you define what the map program was?

0:24:05
Okay.
0:24:06
So this was all part of the mayor's action plan, and that was how the geographic areas were determined.
0:24:11
And there were large geographic areas.
0:24:14
And then you needed to discern from all

of those people.
0:24:17
I think there was sometimes there were upwards of a thousand people in the area.
0:24:21
Yes.
0:24:22
Yeah.

And from there you had to then discern who were kinship care and who were regular recipients.
0:24:29
One of the things we found that services were provided, but the number that were that were kinship caregivers was very, very low.
0:24:38
Understood.
