The fiscal 2026 MMR credits expanded project equal access capacity for a 70% rise in accessibility modifications from 61 to 104.

Shahana K. Hanif

What did the expansion consist of, and is that funding and staffing permanent?

Stephanie Rivera

The big change was that we got an additional staff member for Project Equal Access.

Stephanie Rivera

I previously only had two members holding down the fort.

And now we have another full-time staff member that was pulled in from another unit.
