Okay.

Will DOHMH restore any of the reduced funding to the original budget especially for community based organizations?

If yes, which contracts will be restored and how much funding will be in it and which plan will the restoration take place.

We are still in conversations again with OMB about funding priorities for FY '26.

So we're doing our best to make sure all of the priorities are appropriately funded.

And again this is another area where going back to the Article six match rate will certainly help to continue to make sure our service delivery continues.
