Chair Cabán on state youth clubhouse funding for NYC
Cabán asks about the 15 state youth clubhouses and whether NYC will receive funding. Jamie Nichols explains these are OASIS clubhouses—nine exist in NYC and will be eligible to apply for expansion dollars, though it's a state investment.
Can you tell us, I know it's, what, 13 at the state?
Is that the number that they just added money for?
Oh, for the youth?
Yeah.
Was it 15?
15.
Do you know how much money that is?
And also, is the city asking for a portion of that pot of money to come directly to the city?
I'm going to pass it to Jamie Nichols to talk about the program a little bit more.
In terms of the budget, we can circle back on that.
I'm going to pass it again because Bertie just whispered in my ear.
These are Oasis clubhouses.
So it's a great model.
So what they've done is across the state, there's nine recovery clubhouses in New York City.
That's where the OSF funding went for additional peers.
They are expanding it so that now clubhouses or recovery centers will be able to serve youth as well.
So really excited about it.
I work really closely with the Oasis folks.
It's not a city investment, but it'll definitely benefit so many New Yorkers.
So it's not a city.
We're not going to see any of that added funding for New York City residents.
It's going to be from the state, but for all the nine clubhouses in New York City, they're going to be eligible to go for those dollars so that they can expand services.
Yeah, I guess that's my question is like how much of that money may we see?
We can follow up with the R.
Yeah.
I mean, it's on the OASIS website, but yeah, we could share.
Great.
