Thank you so much, commissioner.

I'd like to acknowledge that we've also been joined by council members, Milley and Zwang.
0:26:22
And I will just jump into questions if if that's okay with you.
0:26:29
So how is the implementation of the community care plan carried out?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez

I'm trying to think of where do I start with that question.
0:26:56
We looked at see, tell me if I'm answering you, alright, if if I'm answering you adequately.
0:27:02
We looked at a range of factors in developing the plans, including writing an RFP that will reflect what was required.
0:27:11
For example, outreach was built into the RFP.
0:27:15
Everyone had a community education outreach plan.
0:27:19
Everyone had in that RFP process, there was a partnership plan that people needed to have local partnerships.
0:27:29
OAC attendance and review rates was part of that, you know, utilization of the pop up cafes.
0:27:39
We started looking at other ways that we could design that would serve people in different ways for those who did not wanna go to the OACs.
0:27:48
And institutionalizing some of the in initiatives that came out of the older adult cabinet.
0:27:57
So I think that is my answer to what I believe is your question and tell me if I've answered Yeah.
