AnnMarie Santiago, Deputy Commissioner for Enforcement Neighborhood Services at HPD, addresses the lack of information on the HPD website about Emergency Housing Services and provides some data on vacate orders.

Santiago acknowledges the website issue and commits to improving the information available online.
She explains that it's difficult to directly correlate vacate orders to households using ARC or EHS services.
Santiago offers to provide more detailed information on HPD vacates, including the number of units vacated and reasons for vacates.
She mentions that this information is available on HPD's open data platform.

Okay, I'm gonna start with the website issue council member.

1:33:02

So I recently emergency housing services was placed into my portfolio.

1:33:08

I was not aware even that there was an emergency housing services page because there is a page on vacates that has much more information about emergency housing services.

1:33:18

And so we appreciate you bringing that to our attention so we can combine or redistribute the information on those web pages to make that more clear to to the public.

1:33:29

In terms of the vacates to the households that come into ARC to the resins, I think it's very difficult to draw that line directly.

1:33:41

I can certainly tell you in terms of HPD vacates and I don't know if we're just still talking about just fires or we're talking about all, but we can certainly provide you with information on how many vacates.

1:33:58

I believe our open data provides information on HPD vacates including the number of units vacated and the general reason for the vacate.

1:34:10

So we can certainly break that down for you.

1:34:13

And then in terms of emergency housing services, the number of households that come in from fires versus other types of vacates.

1:34:21

That will take us a little time to put together but that's information that can be available.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

1:34:26

Okay, thank you.

1:34:27

I know I get an email, ARC is amazing, they send us a lot of information after every fire where they're present and they tell us how many families were served so it'd be great to have all that information in one place.
