Would love to talk through that with you and just secondly because my time's up and I appreciate the chair for letting me extend is is there any barrier or what barriers exist that can be broken down to port documents directly from Access HRA?
0:35:26
Because again, people are already uploading documents to one system.
0:35:30
This is New York City.
0:35:31
It's the it should be the same computer system.
0:35:35
What barriers exist between the document sharing in those instances?
0:36:29
Yes.
0:36:30
I guess the same question.
0:36:32
Could you provide a timeline for that document reciprocity?
0:36:38

0:36:39

So I'll let my colleagues correct me if I'm wrong but starting last year we actually Taking a step back, we are using federal dollars that we received during COVID to build on a set of recommendations and working group discussions to bring together DSS, HRA, HPD, DOHMH more closely together, especially as it relates to our homeless placement services.
0:36:02
A lot of this work has resulted in us getting to over a % increase in placements.
0:36:08
So there are two parts of this.
0:36:09
There is a, setting in place the legal framework for data exchange, which we've been working on since EHV and moving forward and putting those agreements in place.
0:36:18
And now we have funding for and building toward a shared dashboard just to make sure that we're looking at the same numbers.
0:36:24
And then the next part would be being able to use document your reciprocity and documents.
0:36:36
We can come back to you and tell you where we are in the process.
0:36:46
I I I have to look we will after this hearing, I promise we will get back to you this week with a set of times that we think we can get back to you and information on answers to all this information.
