Council Member Justin Brannan inquires about the status of ACS vouchers for extended day year seats. Deputy Chancellor Simone Hawkins provides information and clarification on the voucher programs.
- 20,000 seats are specifically for HRA cash assistance vouchers
- An additional 68,000 are for ACS low-income vouchers
- Clarification that HRA cash assistance vouchers might not be at risk
Justin Brannan

And another question about the ACS vouchers.
2:32:39
So if the funding for the ACS vouchers for 20,000 extended day year seats are not there, then will those seats not exist next year?
Simone Hawkins
2:32:52
And so I was able to confirm that number, so thank you chair.
2:32:56
And so, ACS shared that the 20,000 is specifically for the HRA cash assistance vouchers and then there's another 68,000 for ACS low income vouchers.
2:33:08
Specific questions questions about the voucher program, we would have to refer them back to ACS and so we'll we'll take a log of your questions and and round back to ACS and then to you.
Justin Brannan
2:33:19
Yeah.
2:33:19
That's very important.
2:33:21
20,000 seats that hang in the balance.
2:33:24
We need to know.
Simone Hawkins
2:33:26
Sorry, chair Brennan.
2:33:27
I actually think, and I don't want to misspeak, but my understanding of vouchers, I actually think the HRA cash assistance vouchers might not be at risk.
2:33:34
I think those are yeah.
Justin Brannan
2:33:41
Yeah.
2:33:42
There's three yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:33:44
