Councilmember Brewer, Councilmember Felder, no question?

Althea V. Stevens

Okay, well.

Gale A. Brewer

Just thank you very much, but again, I know we're talking about the overcrowded, but just in general, data and support for youth development that is targeting, as the chair knows, those young people that are not

Gale A. Brewer

in programs, you know, when I don't think we're making them accessible enough.

Gale A. Brewer

And it's, I know you're trying and you've got many other agencies that you're working with, particularly at NYCHA developments, we need to have just robust youth development.

Gale A. Brewer

And I know you're working on it, but I don't feel this imminent, you know,

Gale A. Brewer

emergency need, that's what I'm looking at.

Gale A. Brewer

That's what I'd like to see.
