Thank you so much, commissioner.

0:26:16

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

0:26:33

Sorry.

0:26:33

I didn't hear that.

0:26:34

Sorry.

How is the implementation of the community care plan carried out?

0:26:39

So how is the work structured, who organizes related meetings, agenda items, priorities, you could start there.

Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez

0:26:49

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.
