Have you done any outreach for small organizations around your interest free loan and what kind of support do you provide them?
2:20:29
These small orgs around budgeting, repayment, around the small organizations getting this loan and have any outreach have been done for non English communities as well?

to start now and then maybe expand outwards, we have done communication blasts to our nonprofit providers all for the loan fund.
2:20:56
We actually did one maybe a couple weeks ago and we did one earlier in the year.
2:21:04
It's it's give and take.
2:21:07
We try to go out and meet people where they are and then people we hope, but if we put information publicly on our website, on the city's website, people will find us.
2:21:16
But it's a variety of strategies to be able ensure that those who need the services and support are being met with the resources that they seek.

In addition, I think the engagement with vendors for the entire city is something that MOX is committed to.
