There were notable changes made in the preliminary plan for both agencies.

HRA saw 334,400,000 in city funded new needs added in fiscal year twenty five with the majority of that funding going towards city theft vouchers.

Funding was only added for city thefts in fiscal year twenty twenty five, and the program lacks adequate baseline funding in fiscal year twenty six and beyond.

On a positive note, I was very happy to see the preliminary plan restored baseline funding, which had been reduced at adoption.
