Discussion on Local Law 37 data collection across city agencies
Mata and Nicole discuss Local Law 37 data collection efforts, including recommendations to improve questionnaire language and working with larger agencies to execute MOUs for timely data sharing across city agencies.
And I know that we are currently working with
other agencies when it comes to Local Law 37 to ensure that the questionnaire about veterans is
inputted in their application process because then with that it will help us understand where veterans are going.
To get the services that they need, but also what types of services they're requesting the most.
And Nicole can elaborate the efforts and the wins that we are having on ensuring that agencies can join us on that.
So specifically for Local Authority 7, and thank you, Chair, for collaborating with us on this, we have made some recommendations in terms of the language to better reflect what our report would need to capture.
So we're just finalizing with our friends over at City Hall, and then we'll be sending them back over just for further conversations, as well as we're currently working with the
larger agencies to ensure that this is something that will be doable and making sure that they are able to provide this data in a timely matter, as well as we're working to execute those MOUs so that we are able to have a better way to ensure we're getting this data and that it's coming in a timely fashion.
