What is the what are DYCD's primary funded federal funding funding sources and what programs and services do they support?
Nevita Bailey

Our predominant federal funding source is REO and REO is the CSPG which is a fast way through the state.
0:28:06
REO funds our in school and out of school youth programming and CSPG funds a whole host of programs with the NDA, literacy, immigrant services, and so they they fund a number of services through our agency.
0:28:19
What I can also say is that we have not received any guidance from the federal government that there will be any impact to these services at this time, and so we are continuing as is.

But how are you preparing for it if it does?
0:28:30
Because we are in a place where we have to prepare for the worst.
Nevita Bailey

I understand that, but at the same time there's so many unknowns and so at this time we're just trying to figure out what we can do to reinforce our existing systems, make sure that staff are properly prepared, but at this time we really can't make that decision because if any cut happens it's a citywide decision, it wouldn't really be the OSD.
0:28:49
So we're doing all that we can internally to make sure that we are our reinforcements and our foundation are strong so that we can effectively respond to whatever decision is made.
