Luisa Linares

And are they currently in a um contract cycle and what year are they in most of these RFPs?

Luisa Linares

So I can start.

Luisa Linares

Um I don't know if you want me to walk you through the different programs that we have for but the legal support centers, they were part of an RFP that happened last last year, and this is their first year of a three-year contract.

Luisa Linares

So that's one bucket.

Luisa Linares

We have HRI partners that are in their a renewal cycle now and are starting again this year, same contracted partners.

Luisa Linares

We have our immigrant rights workshop, same thing, as well as our hotline, which would continue with Catholic charities, the rapid response to your collaborative, as the commissioner mentioned, there was an enhancement there, but that contract is also uh moving forward.

Luisa Linares

Our English language support centers as well, those contracts continue.

Luisa Linares

Um, I think I got all of them, but and uh I think I got all of them, but um the only one I think that you can think of within the RFP cycle would be our um like our legal support centers, which are locked into a three-year contract.
