Dr. Mitch Katz provides a brief update on the status of the Collaborative Learning Center project at South Brooklyn Health.
- The project is currently on hold due to a $6 million funding shortfall
- There are efforts to secure additional funding, potentially with help from the Democratic minority leader in Congress
- No further plans can be made until the additional funding is secured

So we're 6,000,000 short, so we're on hold at the moment.
1:56:47
We you know, we're we're we're looking for someone.
1:56:52
We have the good fortune that the South Brooklyn, as you know, is in the district of the minority district head of Congress.
1:57:03
And, you know, I'm hoping that perhaps we can get him to help us.
1:57:08
He came out to the I to g opening, which, you know, I thought was great that, you know, despite his responsibilities as the the Democratic minority leader of the entire congress, he still made it out to the I to g, you know, opening.
1:57:25
And but until we come up with the other 6,000,000, we don't have further plans.
