Is DHS still contracting with BRC and are you guys also contracting with any other CBOs for outreach?

Thank you council member.

Yes, BRC is our contracted agency that does subway outreach.

We work very closely with them and I think even at the time we disagreed with some of the conclusions from that controller's audit and we have also since in the intervening years done a significant amount of work with BRC and we very much count on the work that they do on the subway.

Can you explain the process of BRC going out to the subways and doing outreach?
