Chair Hudson asks about air conditioner availability in shelters

Thank you all for the answers.

I'm going to take a page out of your book.

You always thank us for the questions.

I'm going to thank you for the answers.

As temperatures continue to rise, the ability to stay cool becomes more of a health issue.

Local Law 154 of 2025 requires DSS to report on the availability of air conditioners in shelters.

Can you speak about what you've found in terms of the feasibility of providing air conditioners in shelters and what percentage of shelters already have air conditioners?

Thank you, Chair.

We are preparing the report that is due in a few days, so we are not ready to discuss yet.

Okay, thank you for that answer.
