Now let me begin with a brief overview of where we stand.
2:22:15
I'm glad to share that all of Moya's funding is preserved in the executive budget for fiscal year twenty twenty six, and we are entering the new fiscal year with a proposed budget of approximately 29,600,000.0, the largest budget since the office was created.

This budget allows to continue strengthening Moyes programs and infrastructure across key pillars, immigration legal and support services, English language learning, language access, community engagement, and communications to our immigrant communities.

We will build on three and a half years of sustained mission driven work during which Moya has delivered more services than at any other time in the office history while responding to multiple crises impacting immigrant communities.

During this time, we've significantly expanded access to immigration, legal and support services, English classes, language support, and more.
2:23:09
We've also managed a record number of contracts with immigrants serving nonprofits, ensuring our efforts remain deeply rooted in the community.

Moya aims to use its funding in the most strategic way to meet the emerging needs of immigrant communities.
