Q&A

Chair Lee on HPD coordination with Department of Finance for SCRI/DRI

New York City Council · Jul 15, 2026 · starts 0:51:17 · 49 sec

Lee asks about coordination with DOF. Phillips says HPD fully administers SCRI for Mitchell-Lamas with minimal DOF overlap, though Walpert notes DRI applications are completed by DOF and they coordinate workshops.

Linda Lee

Yeah, which is why the pre-filled forms are hopefully going to help.

Linda Lee

And then also just considering, because I know that sometimes agencies work in silos and not, with all best intentions, I know they try to coordinate and work together, but how has that been with partnering with Department of Finance?

Linda Lee

Because I know that there probably needs to be a lot of coordination there.

Linda Lee

So how has that looked?

Adam Phillips

So we fully enroll and run the SCRI program for Mitchell Llamas.

Adam Phillips

So the overlap with us and DOF is very minimal and not really necessary.

Linda Lee

Okay.

Linda Lee

I'm sorry.

Linda Lee

Yes.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

But the DRI applications are completed by Department of Finance, but when we go out to do a workshop, we'll bring DRI applications along with us so that we do coordinate with them.

Linda Lee

Okay, perfect.
