Council Member Farah N. Louis seeks clarification on the $5 million allocated for crisis response in FY 2026, as mentioned in the DOHMH testimony. The discussion reveals some confusion about the specific program this funding is intended for.

  • DOHMH officials struggle to immediately identify which program the $5 million is allocated for
  • There is mention of it possibly being for co-response teams, but this is not confirmed
  • DOHMH agrees to follow up with more detailed information about the funding allocation
