Aaron Anderson

Yeah, thanks Chair Cabana, thanks Commissioner.

Aaron Anderson

So just to put some numbers on a couple of things we've talked about.

Aaron Anderson

One is, as the Commissioner mentioned, this 20 community-based organizations that are receiving funding.

Aaron Anderson

So that's through the

TGNC NB Empowerment Fund, and that's a $2 million investment.

And then there's also the trans-equity programming.

So there are seven FY26 city council discretionary contracts across five vendors totaling $2.75 million.

That supports primary care, surgical care, mental health care, education programs, and a whole host of other resources.
