Can you tell us how many Harlem families have been and are or are projected to be impacted by the city's freeze on child care voucher on the child care voucher program and what ACS is doing to communicate updates or alternatives to affected parents.

The the wait list policy just started on May 5, and so we don't have with about ten to fifteen days for eligibility, but we'll keep the council up to date on that.
