Morano asks about partnerships generating most referrals

Which partnerships generate the highest number of referrals?

In terms for LGBTQ plus veterans specifically or partnerships in general?

Well, I mean, I'll take both.

Yeah, I think for LGBTQ plus veterans in general, SAGE has been a primarily referral source for us as they participate in our mental health roundtables, in our veteran mental health coalition meetings, as well as at different outreach events that we have in the community.

So I would say SAGE is our primary.

And then for partnerships in general, working very closely with our federal partners, make a lot of referrals over to the VA, but as well as to our partners at different city agencies, whether that be the Office to End Gender-Based Violence

or Department of Finance for anything taxation-related.

So right now what we're working on is, like Commissioner said, being more intentional about where we are sending people over, more specifically locally, so targeting some of those smaller groups.

Obviously, I know at least a few of us are from Staten Island.
