Hudson questions on LL130 DV shelter survey data for CY2024
Hudson asks about Local Law 130 reporting. Rima Rivera reports CY2024 data: 16,318 total survey respondents with 16% identifying as LGBTQI+, including 25% of 114 DVS respondents, 16% of 8,906 cash assistance respondents, 18% of 915 IDNYC respondents, and 15% of 6,383 SNAP respondents.

and shall submit to the mayor and the speaker of the city council and post on its website a written report, including the following information.
