CM Epstein questions OMB on Mitchell-Lama capital funding and animal welfare office
Epstein asks about capital money for struggling Mitchell-Lamas and funding for the animal welfare office. Solomon notes the state budget included $60 million in capital for Mitchell-Lama and offers to follow up on the city's capital plan and the animal welfare office.
Is there capital money put aside to give to Mitchell Lamas who are struggling?
We have a lot of Mitchell Lamas who are facing 20% increases, and it's because of the capital needs.
Is there any money in the capital budget for these Mitchell Lamas?
get back to you.
I will note that the state budget included $60 million in capital funding for Mitchell Lama development, but we'll get back to you on our capital plan.
I appreciate it.
And then animal welfare office in the mayor's office, was there any increase in funding for that office?
I'm happy to have these conversations with you.
I appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Okay, we'll circle back to Councilmember Ressler, and next we have Councilmember Eldable.
