- The administration is tracking providers continuing to deliver gender-affirming care
- H&H facilities, particularly the Judson Pride Clinic, are key providers of gender-affirming care
- The Unity Project has dedicated its entire budget to H&H in the past two fiscal years
- Funding capacity for H&H remains a concern and an ongoing focus for the administration

And then is the administration tracking which healthcare providers within the city are continuing to deliver or resuming delivery of gender affirming care?

I know you mentioned H and Hs.

What's the funding capacity for H and H given you know this council we ask for more to be more facilities and for there to be more funding to H and H facilities.

I show the same commitment as you do the past two this fiscal year and last fiscal year I dedicated my entire budget to H and H particularly the Judson Pride Clinic which is H and H's premier Pride Clinic and renders a significant number of these services.

So while I can't speak to H and H's budget and I don't know if they would want me to in this particular instance, that is definitely a concern and that is definitely something that we will continue to work through.
