Council Member Williams inquires about the potential impact of federal funding cuts on CCHR's operations. CCHR Deputy Commissioner Mariela Salazar provides information on the agency's federal funding and its significance to their budget.
- CCHR received $683,000 in federal funding for fiscal year 2025 and is expected to receive $691,000 in fiscal year 2026
- The mentioned funds are projected expenditures, and CCHR has already received reimbursement from the EOC for these amounts
- The federal funds are not used for personnel services (PS)
- CCHR representatives state that the potential loss of this federal funding would not have a significant impact on their budget due to the relatively small amount

We don't use those those funds for you know PS really, so if it were to be cut that amount is small that it doesn't it won't have a significant impact to our budget.
