Althea V. Stevens

The next question I have is just around the Fathers Initiative.

Althea V. Stevens

What is the current budget for the Fathers Initiative?

Speaker

I'll defer to Navita to answer that.

Speaker

Question.

Althea V. Stevens

And who are the providers that received the awards?

Althea V. Stevens

And what boroughs and districts?

Speaker

Chair Stevens, I don't have all that detail.

Althea V. Stevens

Oh, okay.

Althea V. Stevens

Sorry.

Speaker

But for the budget, I can tell you that the budget for fatherhood at FY27, sorry, is 8.2 million.

Speaker

In terms of the providers, there are 14 providers operating 17 contracts.

Speaker

Six are in the Bronx, four in Brooklyn, three in Manhattan, two in Queens, and two in Staten Island.

Speaker

We can follow up with you after the hearing.

Speaker

Oh, don't you worry.

Althea V. Stevens

You guys are going to be following up a whole lot because I still have a bunch of questions I didn't get through, and I'm trying to be really quick.

Althea V. Stevens

They told me I got into 215, so I have one more question.
