Lee and Zhuang ask MOPD about referral numbers and DOF relationship
Lee asks about MOPD referral numbers, and Agarwal explains MOPD doesn't do enrollment but refers to DOF, receiving about 500 constituent calls per month mostly housing-related. Zhuang asks about the DOF-MOPD relationship, and Agarwal describes outreach collaboration and referrals for both DRIE and SCRIE.
And then how many referrals did MOPD have in this last year?
So as this is a DOF tax program, we don't actually do enrollment process.
However, in recent years, we have worked with DOF and other partners to make the online process more accessible to screen readers, for example.
And looking forward, we are happy to support our city agencies.
If there are any accessibility concerns with enrollment, please reach out to us, and we will partner with our city agencies to ensure that
the application is accessible to all people.
We want to have more people apply.
So currently, between DOF and MOPD, what is the relationship as it pertains to this program?
Between DOF and MOPD.
Yeah, so as I mentioned before, we work with them on outreach, and we do
referring if people call and want to know more about DRI or even SCRI because there are many older adults who are also disabled.
So that's some of the stuff we're doing, but we're happy to do more as needed.
