New York City Council · Oct 28, 2026 · starts 2:06:37 · 45 sec

Narcisse asks which H&H programs have strong outcomes but are underutilized due to limited awareness. Long says the SHOW program has more capacity, demonstrated by its 50% expansion this year.

Mercedes Narcisse

Which 800 programs?

Mercedes Narcisse

have demonstrated particularly strong outcomes, but may be underutilized because of limited public awareness.

Dr. Ted Long

Well, actually, I would say the ones we talked about.

Dr. Ted Long

The show program has more capacity, which is demonstrated by the fact that we are expanding it by 50% this year.

Dr. Ted Long

So I think from a public awareness standpoint, the more people that know and could tell their friends or family members that are going through a hard time, hey, here's a safe place near to where you are that will literally send a team to talk to you where you are.

Dr. Ted Long

We want to remove all barriers.

Dr. Ted Long

So more public awareness around that would be terrific.

Dr. Ted Long

Yeah.
