Gutiérrez asks for distribution of applications by neighborhood. Liss says they don't have that data today but will share it with the council in the future.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

And you've all continued to also receive applications from families, even if they're not from the designated neighborhoods.

Emmy Liss

Correct.

Emmy Liss

So among the 5,700 applications, we received them from every corner of the city.

Emmy Liss

The families who live in the five districts had priority for the program, but the overwhelming interest we saw to us was really just representative, again, of how significant the demand is for a program like this and why we're committed to expanding with such urgency.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Can you share what was the distribution of applications by neighborhood, including applications after the main round?

Emmy Liss

We don't have the distribution of applications by name.

Emmy Liss

neighborhood today.

Emmy Liss

Happy to share that data with council in the future, but again, we did see applications from every part of the city.
