Luisa Linares

I love that.

Luisa Linares

I think that that's that's great, and you know, it's that kind of innovation that we hope for when we're looking at how do we really support people on a real road in a real world way.

Luisa Linares

Um in as you know, we we held a joint hearing um with the housing committee to talk about some of the housing issues that we were seeing and the and the the uh intersectionality around immigration and housing.

Luisa Linares

Do you know if any of the increased funding for expansion of legal services and the executive plan will be involved in anti-harassment outreach in collaboration with HPD?

Luisa Linares

We don't have that information, but following that hearing, we have been um working with them more on some of the gaps that you're hearing um laid out um and further strengthening the coordination that we have on the ground.

Luisa Linares

So thank you for hosting that because it was a very timely hearing.
