Council Member Sandy Nurse asks Nadia Chait from CASES to repeat the number of people who would lose access to ATI and reentry services due to budget cuts. Chait confirms that at least 2,300 people would be affected, and one provider might have to close an entire ATI program.
- The cuts would result in at least 2,300 people losing access to services
- One ATI provider may have to fully close one of their programs
- The cuts are so significant that maintaining current staffing levels would be impossible

Can you repeat the number again?
3:58:52
Because you came with a number, but like the agency couldn't come up
Nadia Chait
3:58:55
with a number, so.
3:58:56
So we anticipate at least 2,300 people would lose access.
Sandy Nurse

And one group potentially fully closing shop.
Nadia Chait
3:59:05
Yeah, I mean as you know we have to make the math work.
3:59:09
So you know they can say oh it's a 40% cut or a 50% cut.
Sandy Nurse
3:59:13
Right.
