in

B
I
also
want
to
note
that
my
colleague
at
GG,
Coletta
district,
one
is
unfortunately
sick
this
morning
and
we
don't
actually
have
provision
for
counselors
to
participate
remotely,
so
she
is
watching
the
hearing
and
I
may
be
reading
some
questions
from
her
later
she's
very
much
here
in
spirit.
But
when
we
have
in-person
hearings,
it
has
to
be
counselors
in
person,
so
just
wanted
to
say
that
she
is
very
much
wants
to
be
here
and
is
with
us
virtually
the
notion
of
this
hearing.
B
These
are,
you
know,
really
important
one-time
funds.
The
council
has
gone
through
a
whole
appropriation
process
in
partnership
with
the
mayor
and
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
them
in
ways
that
have
a
lasting
impact
and
that
address
you
know
some
of
the
biggest
challenges
that
we
face
in
the
wake
of
the
pandemic
and
also
some
of
the
structural
challenges
that
were
just
like,
intensified
or
laid
bare
by
the
pandemic.
You
know
everything
from
housing,
affordability,
crisis
in
the
city,
to
food
insecurity,
to
you
know
many
public
health
challenges.
B
You
know
mental
and
social
health
in
our
schools,
all
these
things,
and
so
there's
just
there's
a
lot
on
the
table
and
I
think
we're
proud
to
partner
with
the
administration
to
make
sure
these
funds
kind
of
got
out
to
our
departments
and
started
getting
into
use,
because
the
one
thing
we
know
is
that
you
know
the
people
of
Boston
are
going
to
ask
us
in
a
few
years.
Well,
what
did
you
do
with
that
money?
And
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
spent
every
dime
of
it?
B
We
didn't
send
any
of
it
back
to
the
feds
and
we
spent
it
in
ways
that
are
transformative
and
accountable,
and
so
the
accountable
piece
is
just
that.
The
council,
you
know
I,
was
having
this
hearing
I'm
sure
we'll
have
further
hearings
to
come,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
where
we
are
in
all
the
Departments
with
that
arpa
spending
and
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
partner
with
the
administration
on
on
putting
those
dollars
to
best
use.
B
C
C
This
incredible
amount
of
money
that
we
had
is
really
important
that
we
use
it
well
and
that
we
track
how
we're
using
it
and
that
we
don't
end
up
sending
some
back,
because
we
didn't
think
it
through
and
execute
the
many
many
exciting
initiatives
that
came
out
of
the
discussion
last
year,
so
with
no
further
Ado
I
think
I,
look
forward
to
the
conversation
and
and
we'll
see
you
see
where
we're
at
and
see
see
where
we
need
to
go
in
the
future.
Thank.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
to
the
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
the
important
work
they're
doing
the
administration
team
for
the
point
work
they're
doing.
Thank
you.
Councilor
Bach,
for
sharing
this
important
meeting
and
for
y'all
leadership
on
on
this,
as
well,
like
you,
Council
block
and
in
others,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
spending
our
money
appropriately.
D
The
federal
money
that
we
received
to
the
city
city
of
Boston
and
what
I'm
interested
in
is
learning
what
what
is
taking
place
over
the
last
year,
how
the
money
was
spent.
Were
there
any
challenges
and
if
so,
what
were
those
challenges?
And
how
can
we
work
together
to
address
them
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
to
hearing
from
the
pianoist?
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
B
Thank
you,
president
Flynn
we're
joined
here
today,
I'm
just
going
to
read
out
everybody's
name,
so
folks
know
on
the
record
and
then
we'll
go
to
them
in
order
by
Casey
Brock
Wilson,
director
of
strategic
Partnerships
for
administration
of
Finance
I'm.
Here
at
the
city,
Serena
La
Roche,
School,
Investments
accountability
director
focused
on
the
Esser
dollars
BPS.
B
E
All
right:
well,
my
name
is
Casey
Brock
Wilson
I'm,
the
director
of
strategic
Partnerships
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
just
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
calling
this
hearing
today.
We
are
really
looking
forward
to
reviewing
and
sharing
updates
on
the
covid-19
recovery
funds,
specifically
the
funds
provided
under
the
American
Rescue
plan,
act
or
arpa.
This
will
refer
to
it
today
and
at
the
city
council,
appropriated
in
summer
2021
and
2022,
and
thank
you
again
to
the
council
and
the
counselors
here
today
for
your
continued
partnership
in
this
work.
E
So
as
we
turn
to
slide
two,
we
wanted
to
step
back
and
talk
about
the
federal
funding
that
Boston
has
received
to
date.
You'll
note
that
this
does
not
include
the
infrastructure
bill
or
inflation
reduction
act
which
we'll
speak
on
tomorrow
afternoon
at
a
separate
hearing,
but
we
have
received
already
1.2
billion
in
federal
support
across
the
cares:
coronavirus
really
fund,
FEMA
and
arpa,
and
today
we're
going
to
dive
deeper,
specifically
on
the
American
Rescue
plan
fund
and
Esser.
E
E
Funds
that
I
spoke
of
earlier,
the
558
million
that
we've
received
directly
at
the
city
I
wanted
to
review
the
551.7
million
that
the
council
has
appropriated
to
date
in
2021,
the
council
authorized
81.5
million
as
part
of
an
emergency
relief
package
and
55
million
for
Revenue
replacement
early
on
in
the
mayor's
Administration.
In
partnership
with
the
council,
we
appropriated
8
million
to
expand
the
fair
free
bus
pilot
in
early
2022.
E
The
council
then
authorized
an
additional
5
million
to
expand
the
small
business
fund
and
this
past
summer,
in
addition
to
40
million
in
Revenue
replacement,
the
council
authorized
362.2
million
in
transformative
Investments
together
these
funds
serve
as
a
once
in
a
generation
opportunity
to
jump,
start
solutions
to
long-term
challenges
and
make
some
big
bets
on
Boston,
while
still
recognizing
that
we
have
to
tackle
the
ongoing
covid-19
pandemic.
At
the
same
time
as
you'll
notice,
we
have
five
seven
million
in
funds
that
have
not
been
appropriated
as
of
November
2022..
E
So
as
we
think
about
how
those
funds
are
spread
out
across
different
priority
areas,
we
the
biggest
areas
that
you'll
see
invested
in,
are
234
million
in
unprecedented
funding
for
safe,
healthy
and
affordable
housing.
You'll
hear
more
from
Dan
on
these
housing
investments
later
there's
61
million
to
promote
Economic
Opportunity
and
inclusion.
You'll
hear
more
from
Chief
idubu
about
that
at
39.3
million
to
ensure
Equitable
Public
Health
response
to
ongoing
pandemic
you'll
hear
more
from
Dr
ojukutu
later
on,
and
then.
E
Finally,
we
also
have
17.7
million
to
focus
on
Early
Education
and
child
care,
and
Paula
Villarreal
will
present
on
that.
Oh
and
I
missed
50
million
two
Advanced
climate
resilience
improve
mobility
in
Chief
white
Hammond
will
present
on
that
from
the
finance
cabinet
perspective.
We
we
obviously
share
the
council's
kind
of
opinion
that
we
really
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
spending
all
of
these
funds
putting
them
to
use,
and
then
we
do
not
have
to
return
anything
to
the
U.S
treasury
and
based
on
current
levels
of
spending.
E
We
can
see
that
Boston
is
on
track
to
spend
arpa
funds
by
the
deadline
at
the
end
of
2026..
As
of
November
28
2022,
we
have
147.1
million
that
has
either
been
spent
or
is
in
contract.
That's
approximately
26
percent
of
total
funds
and
already
a
17
growth
since
the
end
of
September.
When
our
last
quarterly
report
was
submitted
to
the
federal
government
and
to
meet
the
obligation
deadline,
which
is
at
the
end
of
2024,
our
departments
have
been
focused
on
planning
activities
from
drafting
rfps,
vendor
Outreach
and
developing
Grant
programs.
E
E
Foreign,
so,
as
we
dig
deeper
on
spending,
I
did
want
to
share.
You
know
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
actively
to
think
about
physical
sustainability
in
the
long
run
in
our
individual
review
of
all
projects,
we
of
course
were,
as
we
propose
these
to
the
council,
we're
thinking
about
this
financial
sustainability
and,
as
part
of
that,
we've
been
actively
managing
all
Personnel
costs.
E
E
I
will
shortly
pass
it
off
to
BPS
to
walk
through
their
Esser
funds,
but
I
did
want
to
say
a
note
that,
obviously
not
every
project
is
going
to
be
represented
here
today.
We
couldn't
have
every
department
head
here
to
present,
but
we
will
do
our
best
to
Champion
their
work.
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
celebrate
some
of
the
projects
that
aren't
represented
here
today,
as
we
speak
of
Humphreys
Studios,
that
which
was
championed
by
Advocates
and
in
partnership
with
arts
and
culture,
oeoi
and
housing.
E
That's
three
dozen
artist
workspaces
that
are
now
majority
artists,
owned
and
operated
thanks
to
arpa
and
other
funds.
Moya
has
completed
a
basic
needs
assistance
program
for
immigrants
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we've
done
some
incredible
direct
support
for
Creative
workers
who
have
an
annual
income
less
than
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
So
there's
so
much
here
to
celebrate
and
I'll
now
pass
it
over
to
my
colleague
Serena
from
BPS
to
share
more
about
the
great
work
that
they're
doing.
E
B
F
You
okay!
So
currently
we
are
preparing
for
a
major
presentation
next
week
on
our
spending,
but
we
did
want
to
give
a
higher
level
and
some
additional
detail.
So
our
funds
have
been
bucketed
where
we
heard
from
the
community
that
Esser
funds
should
be
given
directly
to
schools
where
schools
can
determine
how
to
use
their
funds.
And
so
that's
where
you
see
that
161.5
million
then
there's
the
district-wide
Investments.
F
Those
are
investments
are
funds
that
do
go
to
schools,
but
they
are
for
things
that
we're
seeing
or
patterns
that
we're
seeing
across
schools
and
so
they're
centrally
budgeted
centrally
funded.
Then
we
have
the
Cross
School,
Innovation,
Investments
and
Community
Investments
at
the
moment.
Those
are
not
allocated
and
so
we'll
have
an
update
on
the
ways
of
that
we're
approaching
it
next
week.
But
originally
we
did
set
aside
the
Cross
School
Innovation
for
8
million
and
then
the
community
Investments
for
10
million
the
committee
Investments.
F
What
we
saw
was
that
there
were
a
lot
of
Partnerships
that
were
part
of
the
Esser
as
part
of
the
district-wide
Investments
and
also
part
of
the
school
plan
investment.
So
it's
not
that
we
aren't
partnering
with
the
community.
It's
just
the
original
bucket
right
now
remains
unallocated
of
that
particular
piece.
F
So
across
the
board
of
all
of
those
Investments,
we've
prioritized
academics,
so
strengthening
core
academics,
particularly
through
our
Equitable
literacy,
so
that
we
have
vigorous
and
diverse
curriculum
professional
development
Etc.
That
also
includes
things
of
our
inclusion
efforts
and
our
multilingual
learning
efforts
as
well.
F
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
our
school
environments,
so
clean
access
to
water
would
be
an
example
that
falls
under
that
bucket.
We
have
family
and
Community
engagement,
and
so
that's
where
our
social,
emotional
learning
school
climate
response
to
bullying.
All
of
that
is
in
that
bucket
as
well.
So
those
are
some
examples
of
the
major
buckets
that
all
of
these,
whether
it's
School
district-wide
touch
in
those
particular
pieces.
There,
foreign.
B
G
Counselor
Bach
and
the
whole
Council
for
hosting
this
hearing.
As
councilor
box
said,
my
name
is
Dan
lesser
I'm,
the
director
of
operations
for
the
mayor's
office
of
housing,
Chief
Sheila,
Dylan
unexpectedly,
was
unable
to
join
today
so
I'm
representing
the
housing
cabinet.
On
her
behalf
overall,
as
Casey
said,
the
housing
cabinet
received
234
million
in
arpa
funding.
This
funding
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
rapidly
move
forward
the
mayor's
vision
of
a
resilient,
affordable
and
Equitable
Boston.
G
G
In
October,
we
launched
a
new
initiative
welcome
home
Boston
to
build
affordable
home
ownership
units
on
150
small
vacant
city-owned
Lots.
These
150
sites
were
identified
as
part
of
the
Citywide
land
audit
published
Last
Summer.
Since
the
launch
we've
already
engaged
over
500
city
of
Boston
residents
about
the
program
and
are
planning
to
release
an
RFP
covering
the
first
70
sites
in
Dorchester
and
Mattapan
in
early
2023.
G
As
of
October
1st,
qualified
Boston
residents
can
receive
down
payment
assistance
for
up
to
five
percent
of
the
purchase
price,
as
well
as
a
mortgage
interest,
write
down
and
closing
cost
assistance.
We
have
expanded
our
support
for
first
generation
home
buyers
to
an
updated
partnership
with
Maha
the
mass,
affordable
housing
Alliance
through
maha's
stash
program.
First
generation
home
buyers
can
receive
a
five
to
one
match
on
their
savings
for
a
home.
Additionally,
we
are
in
conversation
with
lenders
to
increase
the
mortgage
interest
write
down,
given
the
high
interest
rates
that
are
currently
available.
G
Foreign,
the
BHA
has
also
launched
a
new
home
ownership
initiative
first
home
that
will
give
a
hands
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance
up
to
75
000
for
BHA
residents
Additionally.
The
BHA
is
working
on
rehabilitating
its
state
subsidized
scattered
site
units
to
create
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities.
G
We
have
been
working
closely
with
our
partners
at
the
bpda
on
the
large
priority
city-owned
sites
that
were
identified
as
part
of
the
city
land
audit.
The
bpda
is
currently
leading
feasibility
studies
on
the
sites
and
we've
already
started
the
community
process
on
two
sites.
The
Austin
Street
parking
lots
in
Charlestown
next
to
our
next
to
Bunker,
Hill,
Community
College
and
the
partial
12
site
in
Chinatown
foreign
as
part
of
the
arpa
allocations.
G
We
also
exceed
48
million
dollars
in
funds
for
Acquisitions
to
combat
displacement,
with
a
special
focus
on
areas
where
large

are
planned.
We
have
already
completed
three
Acquisitions

132
units
permanently

including
the
Blue

portfolio
of
36
buildings
and
114

An
additional
7.5
million
funding
award
to
a
local
mwb
developer
to
acquire
additional
units
is
currently
in
process.
G
We
have
a
number
of
additional
arpa
fund
programs.
I
will
mention
briefly.
We
are
getting
ready
to
release
an
RFP
to
support
deep
green
energy,
retrofits
of
large
income,
restricted
buildings
and
are
working
to
launch
a
sister
program
for
small
landlords
and
homeowners.
Later
in
2023..
We
are
actively
working
on
building
out
our
pipeline
of
badly
needed
permanent
Supportive
Housing
projects
and
already
have
almost
a
thousand
units
in
the
pipeline.
G
In
collaboration
with
the
mayor's
office
of
immigrant
advancement,
we
have
just
launched
an
arpa
funded
emergency
housing
assistance
program
for
migrants
and,
lastly,
in
collaboration
with
the
office
of
food
Justice
and
chief
white
Hammond.
We
are
close
to
identifying
the
site
of
our
first
rooftop
farm
and
we'll
be
rolling
out.
Our
raised
bed
program
in
the
first
part
of
2023.
H
H
H
You
know
our
Focus
was
on
how
we
were
marketing
the
city,
targeting
specific
sectors
to
support
and
protect
that
were
impacted
by
covid-19
and,
more
generally,
to
support
a
lot
of
the
issues
impacting
small
businesses
across
the
city
of
Boston
you'll,
see
here
close
to
two
million
dollars.

was
allocated
for
the
all-inclusive
Boston
campaign,
four
different
phases
related
to
that
two
having
been
completed.
One
is
currently
happening
right
now
meet
me
in
the
city,
which
is
our
holiday.
H
We
know
that
our
restaurants
were
deeply
impacted
by
covid-19,
and
so
we're
proud
to
be
able
to
put
out
a
one
million
dollar
High
Roads
Test
Kitchen
revitalization
fund
that
supported
over
80
restaurants
and
employees
that
not
only
provided
grants
to
the
businesses
themselves
to
continue
to
operate,
but
also
provided
benefits
to
employees
related
to
tuition
assistance
and
other
measures
as
well.
In
terms
of
how
we
supported
small
businesses
even
more
directly.
H
Also,
through
our
rent
relief
program
on
the
commercial
assistance,
almost
300
businesses
providing
rent
relief
for
them
to
be
able
to
remain
in
their
business,
and
we
are
currently
looking
to
finalize
a
TA
provider
for
Grant
programs
that
we
are
putting
together.
But
I
do
want
to
highlight
one
of
those
programs,
the
small
business
Relief
Fund
2.0,
which
this
council
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
that
the
height
of
the
Omicron
variant
gave
us
another
five
million
dollars
to
support
businesses,
and
so
here
are
the
results
of
that
program.
H
It
was
noted
by
Casey
that
Under
The,
Economic
Opportunity
and
inclusion
category
over
61
million
dollars
was
allocated
there,
but
the
office
of
Economic
Opportunity
and
inclusion
received
24.78
million
dollars
in
order
to
support
small
businesses
and
a
couple
of
the
ways
that
we
discussed
earlier
this
year
are
rent
rebate
program,
which
is
now
being
referred
to
as
the
space
program.
The
acronym
stands
for
supporting
pandemic
affected
commercial
Enterprises
I'm,
going
to
give
Elijah
Miller
our
director
of
policy.
Some
Kudos
are
coming
up
with
that
acronym.
H
This
is
going
to
be
a
really
important
program
for
helping
to
fill
store
vacancies
across
all
of
Boston's
neighborhoods,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
being
able
to
launch
this
program
within
the
next
one
or
two
weeks,
and
there
were
nine
million
dollars
that
were
a
portion
for
that
program.
Our
Boston
main
streets
allocation
of
more
than
three
and
a
half
million
dollars.
Our
team
led
by
Sarah,
delude
who's.
H
Here,
a
director
of
operations
working
with
Alicia
porcini,
the
director
of
small
business
very
quickly
and
diligently
got
the
first
round
of
Grants
to
the
20
Main
Streets,
ensuring
that
they
were
able
to
meet
their
operational
needs
and
we
are
working
to
launch
the
grants
for
beautification
of
these
areas
as
well.
And
finally,
we
allocated
350
000
for
an
Arts
Corridor
in
district
7,
which
was
led
by
councilor
Tanya
Financial
Anderson
and
are
continuing
to
provide
grants
to
main
streets
in
those
areas
to
help
move
that
project
forward
on
the
next
slide.
Here.
H
H
Finally,
for
the
oeoi
team,
there
are
two
other
grants
that
are
in
the
process
of
being
developed,
so
you'll
remember
back
in
July,
I
believe
when
we
were
talking
about
one
of
our
programs
a
start
scale
program.
We
want
to
build
the
pipeline
of
businesses
to
help
solve
some
of
our
problems
related
to
supply
diversity.

In
addition,
there
were
1800
residents
that
received
CSA
boxes
across
three
different
BHA
sites
and
a
good
portion
of
that
food
came
from
locally
grown
agricultural
sites
right
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
was
also
supplemented
with
other
food,
but
we
tried
to
focus
as
much
of
those
dollars
to
Urban
AG
books
that
are
operating
right
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
I
J
I
We
expect,
in
the
upcoming
next
week,
actually
a
graduation
of
the
first
21
students
who
are
95
people
of
color
and
14
women.
We
are
looking
at
how
we
recruit
more
women
and
there's
an
upcoming
cycle.
So
if
you
know
a
young
woman
who
is
interested
in
getting
your
hands
dirty
and
being
out
doing
green
jobs
that
are
in
the
field,
we
want
to
build
more
I
just
got
an

We
are
receiving

of

and
the

is
already
being
built
right
now
on
the
Reedville
lot
and
we'll
have
a
capacity
for
145

but
we
have
20
on
the
way
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
the
Boston

This
is
a

we've
procured.
This
is
not
yet
in

but

will
begin
in

I
2.5
million
was
focused
on
our
tree.
Canopy
we'll
be
issuing
an
RFP
in
the
upcoming
months
to
select
a
fiscal
sponsor
to
administer
the
program
which
will
be
modeled
on
the
alliance
in
Montreal.
If
anybody's
interested,
we
can
share
more
about
that
sorry
forget
to
change
the
slides,
there's
500
000
for
the
district,
four
parks
and
green
spaces,
and
the
rfqs
were
released
today
for
Walsh
Park
Town
field,
Geneva,
Cliffs
and
Mount
Hope
Cemetery,
we'll
follow
up
with.
We
have
been
in
conversation
with
and
continuing
conversation
with
Council
on
those
items.
I
750

for
the
Chinatown
microgrid
pilot-
that's
been
moving
along,
we've
been
in
conversation
with
them
and
getting
it
closed
up,
they
had
to
create
a
legal
structure
in
order
to
receive
the
funds.
So
that
has
been
the
sort
of
first
piece,
but
that
is
progressing
the
Farmers
Market
coupon
program.
I
We
chose
a
number
of
sites
this
year
and
moved
102
965
dollars
in
our
funds
for
this
summer
and
we'll
move
a
larger
amount
next
year
and
then.
Finally,
this
is
the
second
half
of
the
building

Residential

director
of

was
250

for
Green
Building
retrofits
and
a
grant
program
to
reduce
barriers
for
retrofits
in
low-income
houses.
We
are
in
strong
coordination
with
moh
around
this,
but
this
is.
I
K
Our
efforts
to
increase
the
rate
of
vaccination
city-wide
and
to
decrease
racial
and
ethnic
disparities
have
been
extremely
successful.
81
percent
of
Boston
residents
are
currently
fully
vaccinated.
49
are
boosted.
I
know
that
we've
all
been
concerned
about
black
white
and
latinx
white
disparities
that
have
been
prevalent
since
vaccines
were
initially
rolled
out
as
of
April.
What
you're,
seeing
in
the
graph
to
the
left
of
this
year,
those
racial
and
ethnic
disparities
have
been
eliminated
and
that's
been
due
to
a
lot
of
the
work.
K
Funding
has
allowed
us
to
continue
to
address
these
issues.
We
have
initiated
new
contracts
with
three
vendors
for
testing
and
vaccination
Services.
These
contracts
allow
us
to
be
responsive
and
Nimble
in
regards
to
community
needs
and
in
our
ability
to
fill
ongoing
gaps
that
cannot
be
met
within
the
Health
Care
System.
K
Examples
of
our
work
over
the
past
months
include
establishing
five
publicly
accessible
testing
and
vaccination
sites
where
influenza
vaccination
is
also
offered,
and
you
see
them
on
the
map
to
the
left
of
the
screen
so
bowling,
building
in
Roxbury,
Lena
Park
in
Dorchester,
bcyf,
High,
Park,
fiorentino,
Community,
Center
at
Allston,
and
then
City
Hall
is
going
to
be
open
to
the
public
very
soon.
Hopefully,
as
soon
as
next
week,
Community
Partnership,
with
other
organizations,
has
been
critical
to
our
work.
K
K
In
addition
to
officially
co-sponsoring
events,
we've
also
supported
vaccination
clinics
at
100,
plus
events
across
the
city
this
summer
and
fall
with
Staffing
materials,
test
kits
and
vaccine
using
arba
funds.
We
have
also
instituted,
or
we
did
Institute
a
be
healthy
back
to
school
campaign
with
an
incentive
program.
It
was
quite
successful.
We
were
able
to
vaccinate
over
1500
people
within
two
weeks
and
because
it
was
extremely
successful,
the
state
is
now
implementing
a
similar
program.
K
So,
a
bit
more
on
Equitable
pandemic
response,
we
held
a
number
of
forums
with
our
Community
Health
Center
Partners
to
better
understand
their
needs,
and
they
expressed
to
us
that
they
needed
funding
to
re-engage
patients
in
health
care
and
to
support
ongoing
covid-19
recovery.
We
have
approximately
three
million
dollars
from
these
office,
arpa
funds
that
have
been
set
aside
for
this
purpose
and
this
RFP,
which
will
be
issued
next
week.
So
we
hope
to
have
an
update
on
that
soon.
K
I
also
want
to
highlight
that
the
grants
that
we
provided
to
34
community-based
organizations
who
are
addressing
social
determinants
of
Health
like
food
insecurity
and
housing,
as
well
as
chronic
disease
prevention.
Many
of
these
organizations
were
hard
hit
during
the
pandemic
and
we
wanted
to
help
ensure
that
there
were
able
to
sustain
and
maintain
their
operations,
so
they
can
continue
to
serve
bostonians.
The
chart
displayed
on
your
right
demonstrates
where
these
organizations
are
located
throughout
Boston
and
then.
Lastly,
regarding
covid-19,
one
of
our
most
important
Investments
is
in
Wastewater
surveillance.
K
As
Cova
testing
has
decreased
significantly
across
the
city,
we
need
to
understand
transmission
and
spread
within
our
communities.
The
data
that
we
receive
from
biobot
currently
is
aggregate
data,
including
Boston,
as
well
as
22
other
sites.
So
we
because
we
want
to
really
understand,
what's
happening
with
our
neighborhoods
we've
partnered,
with
the
agencies
listed
here
to
establish
a
city-wide
Wastewater
surveillance
program.
This
is
a
collaboration.
It's
required
a
lot
of
internal
and
external
collaboration
and
work
with
Partners.
Thus
far,
we've
established
11
neighborhood
sites.
As
you
see
on
the
map,
we
will
be
sampling.
K
K
So,
turning
to
the
behavioral
health
response,
we've
had
a
few
updates
since
the
spring
arpa
hearing,
and
these
updates
are
primarily
focused
on
Staffing.
So
our
new
Center
for
Behavioral,
Health
and
Wellness
is
finally
fully
staffed.
That
includes
our
chief
Behavioral
Health
officer,
Dr
Kevin
Simone,
a
center
director
who's,
starting
today,
a
policy
specialist
also
starting
today
at
a
project
assistant
who
started
recently
over
the
past
few
months
with
Dr
Simone
in
place.
We've
identified
youth,
mental
and
Behavioral
Health
as
the
priority
for
immediate
response
within
the
center.
K
To
that
end,
bphc
internal
Advisory,
Group
has
been
established.
Critical
stakeholder
engagement
has
occurred
with
numerous
listening
sessions,
including
City
youth
parents
and
other
constituents,
and
we've
developed
improved
support
systems
for
RB
phc
staff
who
support
youth
in
schools.
Now,
with
the
center
staffed
and
funded,
we
plan
to
roll
out
additional
strategies
in
this
new
year
that
we've
detailed
on
this
slide,
so
I'll
just
review
them
fairly.
K
Briefly,
in
terms
of
communications,
we
are
expanding
our
existing
work
through
the
cope
code
club,
which
is
a
campaign
that
supports
Boston
youth
in
building
healthy
ways
to
cope
with
stressful
situations
like
negative
peer
relationships,
substance
use
and
other
concerns,
and
that
will
be
an
important
expansion
of
our
work.
Secondly,
we
are
issuing
an
RFP
for
city-wide
youth,
focused
mental
health
Citywide
Communications
campaign.
K
We
are
also
expanding
on
existing
and
successful
work
within
our
capacity
building
and
training
initiative
and
looking
ahead,
we'll
be
issuing
an
RFP
for
Community
Mental
Health
Training
in
the
workforce
and
pipeline
development
category
we're
expanding
our
work
at
the
Boston
area,
health,
education,
center
or
bayheck.
Bayheck
is
a
youth
pathway
Pathway
to
health
careers
program
which
inspires
Boston
high
school
students
to
pursue
careers
at
Health.
K
What
we're
basically
trying
to
do
is
create
a
pipeline
for
behavioral
health
careers,
we'll
also
be
issuing
an
RFP
for
local
Behavioral,
Health
training
programs
and
again
this
is
another
pipeline
Workforce
program.
Finally,
we
are
anticipating
that
the
community-led
Design
Group
will
release
a
report
soon.
I
think
that
we
are
all
very
appreciative
of
the
work
that
they've
done
to
Envision
a
mental
health
crisis
response
that
does
not
necessarily
involve
law
enforcement.
K
And
we
also
have
several
updates
to
report
on
regarding
the
substance
use
crisis
response.
Importantly,
we've
made
steps
forward
on
our
commitment
to
decentralized
substance,
use
services
from
the
area
that
we
call
mass
and
Cass
and
engage
residents
in
their
own
neighborhoods.
We
have
contracted
with
two
new
low
threshold
daytime
spaces,
offering
harm
reduction
services
and
medical
and
treatment
referrals
support
groups
as
well
as
Wellness
activities.
These
are
located
at
Whittier,
Street,
Health
Center
in
Roxbury
and
at
the
Boston
Living
Center
in
Back
Bay
for
sustainability.
K
K
We
are
currently
finalizing
contracts
with
the
organizations
that
the
city
council
earmarked
for
organizations
that
are
working
in
the
recovery
space,
and
that
includes
Phoenix
Namaste,
sober
the
Gavin
Foundation,
as
well
as
the
new
market.
Business
Association
and
I
want
to
mention
that
we
have
created
two
neighborhood
engagement
teams.
K
L
And
oh
yeah,
it's
very
loud
good
morning.
Everyone
I'm
here
because
Kristen
McSwain
had
to
attend
an
event.
I
will
start
with
our
accomplished
projects.
This
was
the
workforce,
hiring
and
retention
for
a
child
care
sector,
a
project
that
started
with
the
mayor's
office
of
women's
advancement,
but
we
completed
in
the
office
of
early
childhood.
L
This
was
only
for
family
child
care
providers.
These
are
providers
that
are
licensed
by
The
Early
Education
and
Care
Department
to
serve
up
to
10
children
in
their
own
house.
98
of
the
family
child
care
providers
active
in
June
of
2022,
received
the
funding,
which
was
a
one-time
direct
Grant
of
three
thousand
two
hundred
sixty
dollars
out
of
these
providers.
60
percent
self-identify
as
Latino
Or
Hispanic
origin
99,
are
women
and
14
of
the
neighborhoods.
L
Where
providers
serve
were
when
we
will
see
in
the
next
slide
how
all
the
14
neighborhoods,
where
we
have
fccs,
received
a
funding,
mostly
Dorchester,
then
I
will
move
on
to
our
current
projects.
I
want
to
thank
councilor
buck
and
councilor
luigien
for
attending
our
president.
Two
weeks
ago,
I'll
start
by
the
essential
workers
Grant.
We
have
a
granted
to
three
grantees
that
carry
that
works
pilot,
a
total
of
698
607
dollars
to
increase
the
number
of
family
child
care
providers
who
offer
non-traditional
hours.
L
This
is
before
before
9am
five
starting
at
5
a.m
and
after
5
30
p.m.
A
36
anticipated
number
of
new
family
child
care
providers
will
be
included
onto
the
ongoing
pilot
36
families
up
to
36
children,
but
more
can
be
served
and
66
percent
of
the
families
that
are
served
can
receive
financial
support
through
24
scholarships.
L
Then
our
next
project
is
the
stimulus
and
stabilization
Grant.
We
had
21
grantees,
which
are
umbrella
organizations
that
have
55
centers.
This
was
only
for
center-based
child
care
and
and
they
had
to
receive,
they
have
to
accept
subsidies
so
out
of
the
104
child
care
centers
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
receive
subsidies,
53
percent
of
these
centers
will
be
impacted
by
this
funding.
L
We
required
that
the
centers
increase
the
hourly
wage
of
their
teachers
to
22
dollars
per
hour
by
December
2025,
and
we
provided
the
money,
so
they
can
design
a
compensation
and
sustainability
plan
from
all
the
55
centers
for
4815
is
the
number
of
children
that
are
licensed
to
serve
and
out
of
the
neighborhoods
with
child.
Cares
that
take
subsidies,
they're
14
overall
in
the
city
we'll
see
how
every
one
of
these
neighborhoods
will
be
impacted
by
this
grant,
and
last
but
not
least,
of
our
ongoing
grants.
L
We
have
the
growing
the
workforce,
Grant,
seven
million
seven
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
is
allocated
to
this
project,
which
is
divided
into
two
parts.
On
one
side
we
have
the
scholarships
and
wraparound
supports
for
aspiring
and
current
current
early
Educators.
We
had
four
grantees
that
we'll
be
providing
a
in
a
total
of
795
expected
credentials.
We
divide
into
the
Child
Development
Associates
or
a
CDA
and
Associates
a
bachelor's
degrees,
master's
degrees,
Lead,
Teacher,
certification
and
director
certification
and-
and
this
is
for
provider
for
aspiring
and
current
providers
to
get
their
degrees,
debt
free.
L
And
then
we
also
have,
in
partnership
with
the
office
of
Economic,
Opportunity
and
inclusion
through
one
of
their
rfps
recruited,
launched
a
recruitment
and
training
for
aspiring
family
child
care
providers.
We
aim
to
have
75
new
family
child
care
providers
in
the
city
and,
with
this
expects,
to
serve
up
to
450
children
during
their
first
year
since
once
they're
licensed,
they
can
only
serve
six
children,
but
then
they
could
even
serve
up
to
more
and
moving
forward.
L
This
will
also
be
an
RFP
and
we
want
to
create
a
One-Stop
shop
for
parents,
so
they
can
find
both
BPS,
which
is
the
public
schools
at
upk,
Universal,
pre-kindergarten,
and
also
in
center-based
providers
and
we're
working
together
with
the
Department
DeWitt,
the
BPS
it
team
and
providers
and
families.
Thank
you
very
much.
I,
don't
know
if
I
took
more
than
five
minutes.
L
E
You
to
the
council
I
know
this
is
a
long
presentation,
but
we
wanted
to
be
responsive
to
the
request
and
really
have
this
be
a
resource
to
both
the
community
and
residents
who
are
interested
in
having
a
status
update
across,
which
is
obviously
a
large
amount
of
funds
and
a
large
amount
of
work
that
is
being
done
by
much
of
the
team
here.
So
thank
you.
B
E
B
Thank
you
so
much,
and
yes,
that's
definitely
part
of
our
objective.
Here
is
just
to
get
all
this
information
on
the
record
and
give
everybody
a
snapshot.
So
folks
can
look
it
up.
So
we
appreciate
that
I'm
going
to
go
first
to
my
colleagues
and
then
I'll
go
to
my
questions
so
first
to
counselor,
Braden
and
then
to
counselor
Lou,
Jen,
counselor
Braden.
Thank.
C
So
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
that
you're
expanding
the
opportunities
for
child
care
development,
I
was
talking
to
I,
was
I,
was
doing
a
school
visit
last
week
and
the
the
principal
was
telling
me
that
there's
his
staff,
his
teachers
needed
child
care
and
they
can't
get
any
child
care
and
then
I
contacted
some
of
the
local
family
providers
and
they
said
they've
all
got
wait
lists,
so
we
need
definitely
need
to
increase
our
capacity
for
that.
So
that's
very
important.
C
C
E
Still
remaining
I
can
speak
on
that
briefly,
since
Chief
Elliott
Ortega
is
not
here
today,
yeah,
so
that
project
is
really
focused
on
the
workforcement
and
creative
workers
yeah.
So
we
have
yes
encumbered
207
000
of
that
project
date
and
that's
really
focused
on
providing
technical
assistance
for
Creative
workers
and
artists,
and
it's
specifically
focused
on
populations
hardest
hit
by
covid,
the
resulting
pending
contracts
that
we
have
are
58
with
women
in
minority-owned
businesses
and
we'll
include
our
first
artist.
E
C
C
So
it
really
is
to
complement
the
city's
plan
to
build
a
full
service
bcyf
center
in
Olson
Brighton.
By
supporting
the
transition
to
you
know,
intermediate
facilities
and
and
I
know
we
seem
to
kick
this
can
down
the
road
and
we,
the
the
the
hardest
man
is
going
to
be
in
in
the
the
facility,
the
the
complex
for
another
year,
another
year
longer
than
we
expected
so
I'm,
assuming
that
the
bcyf
community
center
will
also
have
another
year,
so
we
keep
kicking
the
can
down
the
road.
C
It
is
of
concern,
though,
that,
because
we
have
a
limited
timeline
to
spend
this
funding,
that
we
need
to
be
sort
of
improving
facilities
and
neighboring
have
a
plan
from
the
transition
and
then
make
sure
that
we
we
ex
we
spend
the
money
up
in
the
timely
way
to
ensure
that
facilities
are
upgraded
so
that
we
can
accommodate
a
new,
a
bcyf
center
in
the
interim
until
we
build
another
one.
So
it
could
be.
It
could
be
eight
years
before
we
have
a
new
cyf
Center.
E
I
think
we
would
just
agree
with
your
comment.
I
know
right
that
these
funds
are
focused
more
on
the
temporary
space
while
the
the
permanent
site
is
is
built
and
and
you're
right.
We
will
need
to
make
sure
that
those
funds
are
in
contract
by
the
end
of
2024
to
support
the
temporary
site
going
forward
and
so
I
know
that's
a
priority
for
bcyf
to
ensure
that
these
funds
get
put
to
use
to
support
that
temporary
site.
The.
C
G
C
Okay
and
then
there's
the
coven
testing,
there's
there's
five
million
remaining
in
the
covert
testing
budget,
I
I
know
it'll.
Last
you'd
expect
you
to
have
a
crystal
ball
here.
We're
going
to
continue
to
need
to
be
doing
testing
for
the
foreseeable
future.
As
far
as
I
can
understand.
Is
that
correct.
A
C
K
C
K
K
It's
not
just
city
employees.
When
we
mentioned
working
with
the
100
plus
or
Community
organizations.
This
is
some
of
what
we
give
them.
We
give
them
PPE,
we
give
them
test
kits.
We
sometimes
help
staff
and
bring
you
know,
literature
Communications
along
with
us,
so
we
do
order
the
PPE
and
it's
good
to
have
it
in
reserve,
particularly
if
we're
thinking
about
Surge
and
then
surge
into
next
year.
We,
you
know,
want
to
be
prepared.
C
K
C
E
I
A
E
Second,
that's
under
d-y-e-e
under
the
leadership
of
Rashad
cope,
and
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
a
further
one.
But
the
update
we
have
to
share
today
is
that
you
know
ye
is
obviously
actively
hiring
and
continuing
to
staff
up.
They
have
an
RFP
ready
to
go,
and
so
they
hope
that
they
can
launch
this
RFP
by
the
end
of
January
and
early
February.
C
And
in
no
way
I
know
we
talk
about
this
during
budget
season,
but
when
we
we
think
about
youth
jobs
and
the
sort
of
the
onboarding
process,
I
don't
know.
Thinking
back
to
last
summer,
we
had
a
lot
of
pressure
to
increase
the
number
of
Youth
jobs,
but
just
to
really
how
many
did
we
get
and
how
was
the
onboarding?
C
C
E
J
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
calling
this
hearing,
because
I
think
it's.
You
know
incredibly
important
that
when
once
we
vote
on
these
funds,
follow-up
can
sometimes
be
difficult.
Instead
of
having
this
hearing
to
talk
and
have
continued
conversations
about
how
we're
executing
on
this
once
in
a
lifetime,
opportunity
is
important.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
I
apologize,
because
I
believe
I
missed
a
beginning
portion
of
it.
M
B
Yeah
and
just
before
you
cut
in
I'll
just
say,
because
we
set
this
up
at
the
top.
The
BPS
is
planning
a
big
presentation
to
their
school
committee
on
Esther
funding
on
December
15th,
so
just
a
flag
that
we're
getting
kind
of
a
short
summary
today,
but
there's
some
stuff
that
I
know
that
that
isn't
they
can't
talk
to
the
council
about
yet
because
they
haven't
presented
a
school
committee.
Yet.
M
F
M
I'm
curious,
if
there's
within
us
for
funding,
is
there
any
allocation
towards
any
tutoring?
I
know
that
currently
BPS
is
has
a
vendor,
but
I'm
wondering
you
know,
especially
as
we
come.
We
we've
come
and
we
we've
seen
more
reporting
come
out
about
put
the
potential
benefits
of
tutoring
and
wondering
about
how
we're
thinking
about
that
in
terms
of
allocation
of
us
or.
F
Funding
yeah
and
that's
a
great
Point,
so
you
asked
you
I,
think
you're
referring
to
paper
tutoring
paper
and
also
in
addition,
School
leaders
have
written
in
tutoring
into
their
own
allocations,
stipening
their
staff,
because
research
shows
that
it's
better
to
have
that
closer
relationship.
So
that's
where
we're
seeing
a
little
bit
more
on
the
tutoring
side.
So
it's
mostly
at
this
point
at
the
school
level,
where
they've
written
that
into
their
budget.
M
F
M
All
right,
great
I
look
forward
to
either
hearing
or
reading
it.
So
in
whichever
format,
just
because
we've
seen
a
number
of
different
reports,
a
lot
in
the
media
about
how
our
benefits
our
kids
could
benefit
from
more
specialized
tutoring
outside
of
the
or
finding
ways
to
integrate
it
into
the
normal
class
day
and
I'd
love
to
see
where
we
are
with
that.
And
if
we're
using
this
once
in
a
lifetime
investment
to
sort
of
close
that
and
then
I
guess.
F
Yes,
absolutely
so
there's
investments
in
terms
of
recruitment
of
teacher
diversity
on
the
report
on
our
website.
Right
now
we
have
a
June
report
that
actually
details
that.
So,
if
you
want
to
read
a
little
bit
more
into
it
beyond
the
time
that
we
have
here,
but
the
short
answer
is
yes,
we
do
have
Sr
Investments
to
recruit
more
diverse
teachers
and
retain.
M
Them
awesome.
Thank
you.
Miss
Luke,
I
appreciate
I,
appreciate
that
and
Chief
Edo
I'm.
Sorry
I
missed
your
presentation,
but
thank
you
for
all
the
great
work
that
your
office
has
been
doing
and
really
meeting
the
needs
of
our
business.
Community
I
was
wondering
like
I,
think
I
have
three
questions.
Hopefully
they're
short
one
is
just
like
a
big
picture.
M
What
are
the
continuing
needs
that
you're,
seeing
or
the
difficulties
that
you're
seeing
that
our
small
businesses
are
facing
and
I
think
that's
just
a
general
question
not
with
that's
not
specifically
about
how
we've
allocated
arpa
funds.
But
what
do
you
see
as
the
on
as
the
outstanding
needs
that
our
businesses
are
facing
and
then,
if
there's
yeah,
that's
just
the
question.
H
Start
there
sure
well,
first
thanks
for
asking
the
question:
I
was,
you
know
happy
to
anyway,
so
in
terms
of
what
we're
seeing,
as
you
know,
we
do
these
business
walks.
That
believe,
you
know
yourself
and
your
team
members
have
joined
I
would
say
they
fall
into
two
categories.
One,
of
course,
is
money
for
whether
it's
for
rent-
you
know
other
operating
expenses,
but
the
other
is
Staffing.
M
M
Are
we
thinking
diff?
Are
there?
Are
we
thinking
about
creative
ways
that
we
can
partner
with
entrepreneurs
or
small
businesses
that,
where
we
have
city-owned
properties
or
ways
to
to
sort
of
help
with
that
overhead,
in
a
way,
that's
like
not
just
giving
them
like,
you
know,
which
is
important,
helping
them
with
monthly
rent
costs,
but
are
there
other
ways
in
which
we
can
be
providing
space,
especially
in
an
equitable
manner,
for
small
businesses?
And
how
have
we
been
thinking
about
that.
H
Sure
so
there
are
two
things
to
this:
one
is
the
9
million
that
we
did
get
for
the
rent
rebate
program,
the
Space
Program,
which
is
going
to
be
launching
shortly.
This
is
our
way
of
over
a
number.
You
know
the
the
period
of
the
arpa
money
to
provide
rent
support,
but
also
other
operating
expenses
like
build
out
costs
related
to
moving
into
a
new
space,
and
this
is
for
businesses
that
are
either
entrepreneurs
who
don't
have
a
space
currently
or
those
who
are
looking
to
expand
to
a
to
another
space.
H
So
they
have
more
than
just
the
one
that
they
have
right
now.
So
that's
one
way
that
we're
supporting,
but
the
other
is
not
covered
by
arpa,
but
which
is
really
important
to
your
point
about
city-owned
property
acquisition,
ownership
of
commercial
property
when
I
left
the
previous
organization
I
was
working
with.
This
was
a
big
thing
that
we
were
focused
on
and
when
you
go
out
and
meet
with
small
businesses
today,
you
know
a
lot
of
them
are
going
facing
rent
burden
because
of
the
the
you
know.
H
Maybe
the
property
owner
the
landlord
has
decided
to
jump
up.
Rent
by
two
or
three
thousand
dollars
so
for
us
in
order
to
prevent
that
displacement
and
instability.
You
know
we
developed
this
program,
a
partnership
with
the
bpda
arts
and
culture,
Housing,
Finance
and
other
Partners
to
develop
a
commercial
acquisition
program
which
the
components
are
you
know
either
the
bpda
goes
out
and
acquires
a
property
that
this
group
has
determined.
We
need
to
save
this
property
to
keep
the
businesses
where
they
are
or
we're
providing.
H
Humphrey
Street
Studio
oeoi
also
participated
on
those
projects,
as
well
as
City
fresh
food
acquiring
the
land
that
they
are
expanding
to
to
hire
more
people,
but
this
is
for
us
is
going
to
be
the
way
that
one
of
the
ways
that
we're
helping
to
not
only
provide
ownership
opportunities
on
the
commercial
side,
but
also
stabilize
communities
when
it
comes
to
rent
and
affordability.
Thank.
H
M
Great
and
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
the
commercial
acquisition
program,
I
think
on
the
housing
side,
the
the
acquisition
option.
New
program
has
been
a
really
great
example
about
how
we
can
intervene
when
the
market
is
really
becoming
extractive
and
and
really
displacing
residents
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
I
think
we
need
to
be
thinking
more
about
how
sort
of
we
disrupt
sort
of
the
market
that
prevents
barriers
for
for,
for
especially
folks
of
color.
M
Another
thing
that
I'm
just
putting
this
out
there
is
that
and
as
much
as
this
is
a
structural
issue
which
it
is
I
think
about.
How
do
we
have
like
a
committed
Revenue
stream
to
be
able
to
support
some
of
our
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurs
that
are
that
are
shutting
out
whether
that's
part
of
this
nine
million
allocation
or
not
as
I,
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
a
pilot
program
that
explores
that
so
just
putting
that
out
there?
M
And
then
you
know
this
is
my
particular
question
because
of
what
I
was
you
know
advocating
for
during
the
arbor?
If
you
could
talk
about
the
additional
1
million
dollars
that
we
were
able
to
allocate
to
struggling
businesses
and
how
we
were
able
like
where
that
stands
and
how
we
were
able
to
disperse
so.
H
We
originally
wanted
to
put
it
out
a
couple
months
ago,
but
that
happened
at
the
same
time
as
the
shutdown
of
the
orange
line,
and
we
did
not
want
to
put
out
only
a
million
dollars
just
because
we
knew
all
of
our
businesses
were
going
to
be
impacted.
The
goal,
though,
is
to
put
it
out
and
I
keep
getting
messed
up
because
of
the
fiscal
year,
so
the
third
quarter
of
this
year,
which
would
be
sometime
in
the
early
part
of
next
year,.
B
M
K
So
the
pilot
itself
hasn't
quite
been
announced.
Yet
there
is
a
report
that
was
developed
by
The
community-led,
Design
Group.
It
was
a
group
of,
or
is
a
group
of
community
Advocates
who
were
selected
to
be
a
part
of
this
response.
They
have
put
together
a
report
that
is
going
to
be
reviewed
very
soon
by
the
mayor's
office.
What
they've?
K
What
we've
been
informed
is
that
they've
thought
through
a
lot
of
logistics
around
what
the
overall
response
would
be,
so
not
just
necessarily
for
any
one
group
but
like
what
would
Staffing
look
like
what
would
Services
be
like?
How
do
you
avoid
the
involvement
of
law
enforcement?
How
do
you
get
ongoing
funds,
because
this
pilot
is
certainly
not
enough
to
support
it?
You
know
for
very
long,
so
we
do
have
this
500
000
allocation.
K
M
You
I
feel,
like
the
second
time,
I'm
saying
this,
but
I
look
forward
to
reading
that
report
and
getting
getting
more
answers
there.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
I
guess.
If
there's
a
last
one
I
guess
chairman
Mariana
I
hear
you
call
about
you
know
how
do
we
attract
more
young
women
into
wanting
youth,
green
jobs
and
I'm
wondering
what
sort
of
their
Outreach
has
been
like
to
organizations
that
specifically
work
with
like
the
19
to
24
population?
M
M
You
know
I'm
constantly
think
about
how
we
try
to
get
priority
in
sort
of
you
know,
jobs
that
are,
you
know,
involve
use
of
hands
or
that
are
not
sort
of
off
of
the
not
on
the
traditional
path
for
for
young
women.
So,
just
thinking
about
what
our
Outreach
looks
like
there
and
how
we
you
know
I
know
you
put
the
call
out
to
us
but
I'm,
putting
it
back
to
you
in
terms
of
how
we
can
be
better
there.
I
Our
first
cycle,
we
focus
on
attractive
organizations
that
specifically
serve
young
people
aging
out
of
foster
care,
young
people
who
were
court
involved.
So
there
were
I
think
there
was
a
skew
in
terms
of
the
organizations
that
were
identified,
having
more
males
than
females,
and
so
I
know
that
there
has
been
an
effort
to
think
about
what
other
organizations
we
might
be
able
to
reach
out
to
I
do
think.
There
is
a
small
challenge
that
an
often
young
women
think
that
they
are
not
the
target
audience.
I
They
will
not
see
a
woman
on
the
flyer
and
go
oh
I,
don't
know
if
I
should
apply
around
that,
but
the
opposite
might
be
true
that
we
need
to
send
signals
that
Clearly
say
there's
space
for
women
in
these
in
these
careers.
So
yes,
I.
Don't
I'm
not
sure
if
we'll
get
to
the
point
where
at
50
50
but
we're
I
know
that
the
the
goal
is
to
try
to
see
if
it
can
get
to
20
in
this
cycle.
But.
I
I
M
B
Thank
you,
and
actually
before
I
go
to
my
questions.
Just
two
quick
follow-ons
I
think
related
to
one
is
just
I
wondered.
If
doctor
kutu,
you
could
speak
to
I
think
you
said
it
was
called
code
cope
or
because
it
because
councilor
Lucian
asked
you
about
the
mental
health
response
pilot,
but
it
seems
like
we
do.
Have
this
other
dedicated
money
for
mental
health
Communications
with
our
young
people
and
I.
B
Think
the
question
of
whether
BPS
is
in
conversation
with
us
and
what
channels
we're
trying
to
push
to
our
young
people
would
be
relevant,
and
then
my
question
is
before
we
go
to
that.
Just
because
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
I,
think
presented
before
you
came
in
is
just
it
is
whether
what
What
proportion
I
saw
Dan
on
your
list
that
the
migrant
Housing
Initiative
had
started
and
whether
there's
any
update
on
on
the
proportion
of
this
fund
spent
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
on
both
those
things.
Oh.
K
Sure
I
can
start
so
our
overall
focus
is
on
youth,
mental
health
and
raising
awareness
and
determining
you
know
what
strategies
and
interventions
would
be
most
appropriate,
particularly
for
the
diverse
populations
that
we
serve
in
Boston.
As
a
component
of
that
having
a
strong
communication
strategy
is
going
to
be
critical.
K
The
coke
code
Club,
is
an
online
campaign
that
basically
supports
Boston
youth
in
building
healthy
ways
to
cope
with
the
stress
that
oftentimes
kids
are
experiencing
and
they
have
no
one
to
turn
to
so.
Instead,
you
know
we
can
look
at
this
particular
sort
of
online
community
online
strategies
to
engage
them
in
a
positive
way,
and
this
includes
in
like
peer
relationships
and
bullying
and
substance
use
and
just
you
know,
pandemic
fatigue
I
mean
there's,
there's
lots
of
work,
that's
being
done
there
and
it's
actually
available
online
I
didn't
include
pictures
of
it
here.
K
We
also
will
be
issuing
an
RFP
for
Citywide
youth,
focused
mental
health,
Communications
campaign,
I'm,
hoping
that
that
will
go
out
very
soon.
Now
that
we
have
a
center
director
who
will
be
moving
that
initiative
forward.
The
idea
is
that
it
will
be
a
comprehensive,
culturally,
appropriate,
multifaceted,
mental
health,
public
awareness
Campaign,
which
we'll
focus
in
on
on
educating
both
communities
and
parents
and
care
givers,
as
well
as
engaging
youth
in
meaningful
conversations.
G
And
on
the
emergency
housing
program
for
migrants,
so
the
the
RFP
of
the
Moa
was
officially
signed
with
FC
as
a
Friday,
I
believe,
and
so
we
are
actively
getting
going
with
FC
and
other
partners.
I
I
can't
say
today
if
any
money
has
been
spent
towards
arpa
money,
yet
we're
definitely
spending
lots
of
money
on
housing,
migrants
and
when
they're
coming
in
emergency
situations,
but
we
can
definitely
get
back
to
the
Council
on
if
Arbor
money
has
yet
been
spent.
B
And
and
I
know,
counselor
Legion
is
hosting
a
hearing,
a
broader
hearing
on
this
topic
later
this
afternoon.
So
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
there
was
any
yeah
more
detailed,
update.
Okay,
so
now
I
will
jump
into
some
questions.
On
my
end,
one
is
just
and
I
think
I'll
take
them
roughly
in
the
order
of
the
packet,
so
flipping
to
page
five
I
wondered
Casey.
B
My
only
hesitation
here
is
that,
when
I,
when
I
draw
my
little
line
from
the
moment
where
we
go
to
all
funds
being
obligated,
it's
like
pretty
close
to
Q4
of
2024,
which
is
also
the
deadline,
so
I
just
I
feel
like
I'm,
less
anxious
about
us
getting
the
funds
spent
between
24
and
20
and
26,
but
like
just
because
of
the
number
of
pots
on
the
boiler.
Anxious
about,
like
you
know,
making
sure
that
we
feel
like
we're.
Definitely
it
just
we.
B
E
We
obviously
don't
expect
the
line
to
be
quite
as
straight
and
probably
will
be
a
little
bit
bumpier
and
just
based
on
the
work
that
many
of
the
Departments
here
today
have
been
doing
over
the
past
six
months
focused
on
planning.
We
really
hope
that
actually,
the
majority
of
it
can
be
obligated
in
2023
and
early
2024,
so
I,
you
know,
and
that
is
why
I
think
we
have
confidence,
that
we
can
reach
that
number
by
the
end
of
2024
but
agree.
E
B
Great
and
then
I
had
a
question
for
just
for
Serena
on
the
is
is
BPS
doing
something
similar
to
like
on.
On
page
seven,
we
discussed
the
fact
that
on
the
city
Side
for
the
arpa
funded
positions,
we've
got,
you
know
we
list.
Those
positions
as
temporary
Grant
funded
is,
is
BPS
sort
of
similarly
signaling
to
folks
the
fact
that,
like
the
funds
for
new
positions,
whether
it's
in
tutoring
or
other
things
are
short
term
for
now,.
F
In
addition,
though,
we
are
paying
attention
to
some
things
that
were
requested,
that
is
core
and
priority,
so
the
inclusion
model
is
a
big
one
where
Esser
is
currently
funding
the
initial
approach
to
it,
but
that's
not
something
that
would
Sunset
after
Esser,
so
I
think
it's
both
right.
Like
it's.
We
paid
attention
to
the
one-time
funding.
We
also
made
the
announcement
that
the
grant
positions
are
temporary
and
also
we're
trying
to
look
at
what's
working,
what's
our
priority
and
what
are
things
that
we
want
to
continue.
So
it's
all
of
that
together.
B
We
we
of
course,
like
number
one
thing
want
your
office
focused
on
getting
these
dollars
like
obligated
and
good
Grant
agreements
done,
and
all
that,
so
that,
like
you
know,
so
that
we
know
that
everybody
is
sort
of
parallel
process
moving
on
their
dollars,
but
it
does
seem
like
at
some
point.
The
council
needs
a
snapshot
of
kind
of
to
this
point.
That's
on
page
seven
of
the
sort
of
there's
116
projects
approved.
Some
of
these
are
temporary.
Some
of
these
are
pilots.
B
We
think
we're
going
to
incorporate
and
are
going
to
have
kind
of
post-arpa
spending
implications.
I
think
it
would
be.
It
would
be
helpful
at
some
point
to
have
a
kind
of
like
how
much
of
the
spending
do.
We
think
is
in
that,
like
pilot
that
we
hope
to
extend
bucket
versus
how
much
of
it
is
in
the
one
time
like
just
because
I
think
that's
going
to
be
the
we
all
always
knew
that
that
was
going
to
be
the
challenge
with
these
dollars.
Is
that
what's
exciting?
B
Is
that
we
get
to
do
great
things
and
then
what's
tough?
Is
that
we're
going
to
to
keep
doing
those
great
things
and
and
we're
probably
not
going
to
keep
getting
infusions
on
this
scale
from
the
federal
government?
So
just
I,
don't
know
if
you
had
anything
to
say
on
that,
but
I
don't
know
how
you,
if
you
guys,
are
starting
to
tag
in
that
nature
or,
if
you're,
if
that's
sort
of
a
Next
Step.
B
B
But,
like
you
know,
this
is
this
weird
thing
where
20
million
is
a
lot
of
money,
and
it's
also
like
not
close
to
what
we
need
for
retrofitting
for
doing
these
deep
energy,
retrofits
and
especially
in
affordable
housing
in
places
where
the
you
know,
the
performa
of
the
housing
just
doesn't
sort
of
cover
these
costs,
and
my
impression
is
also-
and
this
is
maybe
a
question
to
continue
to
tomorrow
with
other
folks,
but
that
there
is
some
money
related
to
this
stuff
in
the
inflation
reduction
act.
And
so
what
I'm
really
wondering
is
like?
G
Sure
I
could
take
a
first
shot
and
then
also
I'm
sure
Chief
white
Hammond
has
more
to
add
on
this.
So
I
think
we're
thinking
about
our
foreign
income,
restricted
units
and
kind
of
two
typologies,
large
buildings,
where
we
often
have
Professional
Management
teams
and
small
landlords
and
homeowners
and
I-
think
we're
trying
to
use
this
one-time
money
to
really
build
up
the
infrastructure.
We're
going
to
need
to
then
scale
this.
So
we
can
decompromise
all
buildings
by
2050.
and
so
I.
Think
on.
The
large
buildings
is
a
little
more
straightforward.
G
And
you
know
this
is
a
really
emerging
field.
So
there's
a
lot
of
contractors
out
there,
but
there's
a
lot
of
expertise,
that's
needed
and
so
I
think
we're
trying
to
navigate.
What
does
a
program
look
like
that?
Can
really
teach
us
what
works
and
then
can
actually
be
a
good
experience
for
homeowners
and
just
wanted
to
call
out
camera
Baza
who
is
here
in
the
chambers?
Is
our
new
deputy
director
for
home
ownership
who's
starting
today?
G
I
Welcome
so
I
think
I
just
well
worth
noting
the
sort
of
larger
strategy
behind
this
is
that
many
of
the
programs
that
exist
have
done
relatively
well
in
the
suburbs,
but
have
not
done
so
well
in
the
city
and
I.
Think
that's
because
we
have
some
unique
challenges.
As
an
example,
I
live
in
a
Triple
Decker,
but
they're
three
different
owners.
So
then
you
have
to
get
all
of
us
to
be
in
agreement
about
how
we
want
to
move
this
forward.
I
We
actually
can
to
help
streamline
some
of
these
processes
create
a
template
for
how
it
moves
forward,
but
also
stimulate
the
market,
because
sometimes
we
lack
the
number
of
contractors
that
know
how
to
do.
This.
So
I
think
that
the
goal
is
like
get
started
as
people
see,
there's
something
worth
bidding
on.
You
hope
that
sort
of
they
start
getting
some
of
the
training
that
they
need.
They
start
aligning
their
teams
in
a
certain
way.
They
start
looking
up
the
kinds
of
products
we
need
them
to
be
able
to
install.
I
That's
it's
the
same
exact
strategy
and
so
we're
trying
to
coordinate
both
what
the
city
is,
spending,
that's
really
about
actually
helping
people
and
lowering
their
bills
and
making
their
homes
more
energy
efficient,
efficient
and
aligning
with
our
Net
Zero
goals,
well
again,
really
trying
to
stimulate
the
market
in
a
way
that
the
resources
become
easier.
For
me
as
a
private
homeowner
to
say.
I
now
know
that
there's
five
companies
that
know
how
to
do
this.
So
when
I
go
to
my
condo
association,
we're
not
like
what
do
we
need
to
do.
I
I
Really
committing
to
doing
the
work
to
make
it
work
for
the
urban
core
they've
allowed
the
utilities
to
do
all
their
work
in
Wellesley
it
just.
It
has
not
been
a
priority
of
theirs
to
make
sure
that
Mass
Save
is
actually
being
equally
distributed
because,
right
now
our
residents
are
subsidizing
the
suburbs
we
are
all
paying
into
Mass
Save
and
we
are
not
getting
our
fair
share,
so
we
have
been
trying
to
hold
them
accountable.
I
think
we've
come
to
the
point
where
we're
just
like.
I
Well,
we'll
just
do
some
things
ourselves,
we'll
just
use
these
resources
to
sort
of
help
simulate
it,
but
I
do
hope
that
we
are
also
going
to
be
looking
at
an
administration
at
the
state
level.
That
really
is
excited
to
partner
with
us
and
really
to
take
this
to
a
whole
other
level
in
terms
of
the
accountability
of
how
massive
dollars
are
spent
and
the
stimulation
is
sort
of
the
market
and
supports
around
it.
That
will
that
will
work.
Mass
CEC,
as
an
example
has
also
received
dollars
to
help
make
this
happen.
I
It's
always
benefited
Us
in
the
way
that
it
could
or
should
have
so
we
are
also
in
conversation
with
them.
So
we
are
excited
because
moh
was
like
ready
to
go.
We
some
they're
one
of
the
Departments.
We
often
don't
have
to
ask.
They
actually
come
to
us
with
ideas
about
how
they
can
take
it
to
the
to
the
next
place.
But
I
do
think
it's
it's
worth.
I
Looking
at
these
dollars,
it's
in
lieu
of
a
much
larger
strategy
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
make
it
possible
for
people
to
make
the
changes
that
they
want
to
make
like
I'm,
struggling
to
figure
out
how
to
get
a
heat
pump
at
my
house.
If
I
can't
get
it
in
my
house,
then
I.
How
are
we
asking
the
rest
of
our
residents
to
get
there
so
yeah?
We
think
that
that
can
become
possible
with
these
dollars
as
a
stimulant
for
that.
E
Finally,
of
course,
there's
kind
of
residential
tax
credits
that
will
be
available
to
individuals,
and
so
it
will
be.
Our
job
is
to
see
to
advertise
those
tax
credits
and
make
sure
our
residents
are
taking
advantage
of
them
at
the
highest
rate
they
possibly
can.
So
we
can
speak
more
on
it
tomorrow,
but
I
think
across
a
few
different
Vehicles.
We
can
continue
to
spark
this
work
with
the
IRA
yeah.
B
C
Briefly,
you
know
one
of
the
things,
the
massive
question
and
the
inequity
and
how
it's
actually
working
on
the
ground
like
I,
remember
back
in
the
LA
the
big
recession,
the
2008
recession.
Remember:
Nino
targeted
a
lot
of
our
recovery
funds
in
in
this
space
on
having
Community
ambassadors
gone
out
into
this,
you
know
working
a
lot,
a
big
focus
on
on
weatherizing
and
and
and
insulation
I
think
it
was.
Was
it
was
a
good
and
and
they're
not
and
making
more
efficient
heating
systems
Etc,
so
I
think
it
was.
C
C
They
pay
huge
amounts
of
money
for
a
heating
over
and
cooling
as
well,
because
I
see
air
conditioners,
running
24,
7.,
but
I
think
really
trying
to
find
ways
to
develop
that
community
and
ambassador
program
and
then
trying
to
engage
with
renters
to
see
if
we
can
put
pressure
on
on
landlords
to
take
advantage
of
these
really
useful
programs.
I
think
it's
so
much
of
it
is
about
the
communication
and
just
connecting
the
dots
yeah.
I
I
Request
it,
and
so
the
question
is,
how
do
how
do
we
help
landlords
to
do
it,
encourage
them
strongly
to
do
it,
while
also
saying
to
them?
I
mean
one
of
the
internal
questions
we've
had
is
for
folks
that
receive
this
one.
How
do
we
say
you're
getting
a
hook
up
here,
do
not
try
to
use
this
hookup
to
push
people
out
of
their
space.
How
do
we?
I
How
is
there
a
mechanism
by
which
we
say
we're
asking
you
to
do
this,
because
it's
better
for
the
home
and
better
for
your
tenants
Etc,
but
it
is
not
an
opportunity
for
you
to
find
a
way
to
just
make
more
money
off
of
these
units,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
tricky
Dance
So
In,
the
Birdo
regulations.
Next
cycle
will
actually
be
looking
a
lot
at
this
specific
issue
would
love
to
have
Council
engagement.
I
How
do
we
do
this
most
effectively
because,
yes,
people
deserve,
especially
in
times
like
this,
where
the
bills
are
going
through
the
roof,
these
Energy
Efficiency
measures,
people
who've
done
them
already,
are
going
to
see
a
big
difference
and
how
impacted
they
are
by
this
winter,
and
we
think
it's
highly
likely
that
a
lot
of
people
will
have
an
interest
in
doing
it
after
they
get
through
this
winter.
How
do
we
take
advantage
of
that
demand
and
make
sure
we
meet
it
in
a
way
that
really
meets
people's
needs?
Thank
you.
B
Yeah,
no,
it's
I,
think
I.
Think
there
is
a
lot
of
kind
of
building
pressure
to
rethink
Mass
saves
in
a
bunch
of
ways
and
yeah
it
just
it
feels
to
me
like
this
is
something
we
have
to
be
using
our
resources
to
to
help
be
kind
of
at
the
bleeding
edge
of
so
really
good.
To
hear
all
of
your
work
on
that
and
I
think
it
will
continue
to
be
an
area
that
council
is
really
interested
in
I.
B
Had
a
quick
question:
Chief
edu
just
about
on
the
9
million
for
the
vacant
spaces
I
saw
in
the
description,
sort
of
and
and
I
and
I
stepped
out.
Just
when
I
think
counselor
blue
John
asked
you
about
this
I'm.
Sorry,
if
it's
repetitive
but
like
it
seems
like
some
of
that
money,
we're
using
to
help
upgrade
spaces
and
stuff,
maybe
for
existing
businesses,
or
is
it
all
for
people
who
are
making
a
move.
H
So
it's
there
are
two
categories:
it's
either
for
entrepreneurs
who
don't
have
a
space
currently
right
or
for
those
who
are
looking
to
expand
to
a
new
location.
So,
for
instance,
Soleil
restaurant
based
in
Nubian
Square
could
take
advantage
of
this
to
expand
to
another
location
and
help
with
build
that
religion
to
have
a
kitchen
or
HVAC,
or
things
like
that.
Using
this
money,
but.
A
B
B
Course
the
I
mean
we're
thrilled
about
everything
that
the
small
business
really
fun
has
done
for
a
whole
lot
of
folks,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
really
feel
like
we've
got
new
like
new
businesses.
Entrenched
in
our
you
know,
downtown
business
districts
I
obviously
represent
a
lot
of,
like
you
know,
wealthier
and
more
commercial
areas
in
the
city
that,
where
we'd
love
to
have
some
of
these
land,
so
I
would
also
just
say:
please,
like
you
know,
think
about
think
about
using
your
counselors.
H
So
that
so
very
much
so
we'll
we'll
try
not
to
abuse
that
privilege,
because
so
there's
there's
actually
two
important
meetings
coming
up.
One
is
with
lending
institutions
and
the
other
is
with
property
owners
and
landlords.
So
I'll
make
sure
that
we
run
by
you
some
of
the
names
on
that
list
to
ensure
some
of
the
folks
who
may
not
be
on
there
are
invited
to
this
so
This.
The
meeting
is
actually
going
to
be
next
week
and
we'll
share
that
information
with
you.
H
H
What
we
will
determine
as
affordable
for
a
long-term
lease
and
then
to
work
with
the
property
owners
to
say,
hey
the
banks
have
already
said
you
can
do
this.
We
want
this
type
of
lease
for
businesses
and
then
to
provide
the
the
grants
in
that
way.
So
the
other
piece,
too,
is
when
we
say
about
50
businesses.
We
also
are
trying
to
be
thoughtful
about
the
types
of
businesses
that
we're
putting
into
neighborhoods
as
well,
so
councilor
Braden
you
brought
up
earlier
in
talking
talking
about.
B
Great
fantastic
and
then
Chief
white
Hammond,
just
a
quick
question
I
mean
maybe
maybe
BPS
is
the
one
who
knows
the
answer
to
this.
But
when
we
talk
about
a
capacity
for
145
electric
buses
out
of
the
refill
yard,
how
many
buses
do
we
have
in
total,
like
What
proportion
of
our
system?
Would
that
be?
If
we
scaled.
I
Up
good
question,
so
I
know
that
what
I
know
instead
is
sort
of
that
we
have
three
main
yards
and
that
the
reason
we
chose
the
Reedville
yard
was
because
it
had
the
capacity
both
in
terms
of
the
grid
currently
and
it's
space
to
take
on
the
infrastructure.
It
is
worth
noting
that
at
this
time,
we
lease
most
of
our
the
spaces
where
our
buses
are.
I
Exactly
we
also
did
look
at
and
are
continuing
to
look
at
the
Dorchester
bus
site.
There
will
be
upgrades
to
the
electric
grid
there
that
eversource
is
already
planning
and,
as
you
I
live
near
there,
and
so
there's
like
all
this
construction
happening,
so
they
were
already
planning
to
upgrading.
So
we'll
have
some
some
opportunities
there.
I
I
can't
remember
what
percent
is
at
high
at
Reedville
versus
other
the
other
sites.
But
what
I
do
know
is
that
the
current
plan
is
to
try
to
move
all
the
buses
over
around
2030.
and
the
the
plan
is
to
do
it
as
buses
need
to
be
retired
and,
quite
frankly,
every
year
we
retire
some
section
of
buses,
so
yeah.
B
B
B
B
Oh
no,
it
was
the
so
dollars
that
wouldn't
pay
us
for
the
infrastructure
right:
okay,
anyways.
We
can
talk
about
that
tomorrow.
We've
got
a
whole
other
hearing,
yeah
and
just
you
know,
and
there's
a
bunch
of
things
that,
where
I'm
talking
to
various
departments,
so,
for
instance,
Like
Chief,
white
Hammond,
it'd
be
it'd,
be
great
to
Circle
up
soon
again
just
about
power,
core
budget
and
kind
of
like
where
we
are
on
spending.
B
B
We
can
have
that
as
a
follow-up
conversation
and
and-
and
you
know,
Casey
that
from
their
you
know,
two
areas
that
my
office
is
particularly
interested
in
in
terms
of
Council
directed
Arbor
grants
related
to
both
the
Mission
hall
link
and
the
and
kind
of
building
out
our
composting
infrastructure
in
the
city,
which
are
both
sort
of
more
under
the
BTD
PWD
hat.
But
since
we're
talking
to
those
teams
pretty
actively-
and
we
don't
have
Yasha
here-
I'm
going
to
leave
those
be.
I
B
Do
they
own
these
things
that
are
being
installed
or
do
we
own
them
like?
Do
we
like?
Do
we
have
a
right
to
the
information?
Do
we
license
like
what's
our
I'm
interested
because
we
say
we're
in
conversations
with
them
like
if
we,
the
city
of
Boston,
decided
we
wanted
to
test
for
another
thing:
do
we
have
that
ability,
or
we
have
to
do
it
in
partnership
with
them.
K
So
a
couple
things,
the
reason
that
we
have
multiple
partners
is
because
each
one
of
them
has
some
say
and
how
we're
actually
utilizing
these
manholes
and
it
did
require
some
coordination.
Biobot
is
private,
but
they're,
also
working
with
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
and
flow
assessment,
and
we're
also
working
with
the
CDC,
because
they
are
the
ones
who
are
allowed.
Who
would
potentially
allow
for
us
to
do
something
like
an
expanded
monkey,
pox,
polio
or
some
other
viral
pathogen,
so
there
it
requires
coordination
and
decision
making.
We
don't.
K
K
B
Okay,
yeah
just
obviously
my
neck
of
the
woods.
So
if
you
need
help,
let
me
know
and
then,
if
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
behavioral
health
I
mean
obviously
that's
the
area
where
we
we
allocate
a
lot
of
funding
in
arpa,
but
because
you
were
still
getting
staffed
up.
You
know
we
didn't
have
as
much
detail
so
and
particularly
interested.
You
know
continuing
to
hear
a
lot
of
Workforce
concerns
there.
Obviously
we
have
them
everywhere,
but.
J
K
We
really
spent
this
time
trying
to
figure
out
what
works
best
and
what
we
could
roll
out
to
city,
councilors
and
city
council
staff,
if
you
all
are
interested
and
I
believe
it
from
what
we've
gathered.
That's
far
from
talking
to
you
all
that
you
all
are
very
interested
and
we
will
move
forward
with
that
in
terms
of
Workforce
and
pipeline
I.
Think
as
we
discussed
back
in
the
spring.
This
is
a
huge
issue.
You
know
there's
just
not
enough.
K
Behavioral
health
and
mental
health
staff
Workforce
at
any
of
our
community
health
centers
at
any
of
our
hospitals,
had
multiple
discussions
with
leadership
in
the
health
care
sector
and
I.
Think
it's
it's
a
major
problem.
That's
not
going
to
be
solved
by
you
know.
Everything
we
do
here
will
hopefully
contribute,
but
certainly
we
need
more
and
more
gaps
need
to
be
filled.
One
of
the
things
that
I
mentioned,
that
is
important,
but
it's
sort
of
a
distal.
You
know,
pipeline
issue
is
working
with
what
we
already
know
works
so
the
Boston
area,
health,
education
center.
K
It's
been
a
successful
program,
it's
part
of
a
national
initiative.
We
have
been
able
to
introduce
high
school
students
to
health
education
careers
and
we
are
currently
tracking
some
of
them.
So
we
can
have
better
data
present
to
you
is
exactly
where
they
end
up
going.
What
we
don't
have
within
that
particular
initiative
is
the
the
behavioral
mental
health
component,
even
though
you
know
we
should
have
it.
So
that's
one
thing
that
we
can
sort
of
wrap
our
arms
around
and
actually
do
something
different
with
I.
K
Think
one
of
the
challenges
with
beyond
that
with
Workforce
Development
is:
there
are
a
lot
of
groups
that
do
this
and
we're
talking
to
them,
and
we
will,
as
I
said,
issue
an
RFP
to
to
do
the
Workforce
Development
piece.
The
problem
that
we're
concerned
about
is
that
we
tend
to
train
people
in
in
Boston
and
then
they
don't
necessarily
stay
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
in
some
type
of,
if
it's
some
type
of
repayment
period
of
time
that
so
we're
offering
people.
K
Is
that,
as
you
all
well
know,
we
have
a
very
extensive
check
program,
a
community
health
education
center
where
we've
trained
thousands
of
community
health
workers,
but
they
haven't
built
that
into
a
career
over
time,
even
though
those
individuals,
maybe
are
still
here
in
Boston,
but
they
haven't
been
able
to
do
that.
So
we're
thinking
through
all
of
those
nuances,
as
we
draft
this
RFP
and
I
think
we
spoke
last
time
about
talking
to
the
mayor's
office
of
Workforce
Development,
which
we
have
done.
We've
also
spoken
to
a
number
of
entities.
K
I
won't
mention
them
specifically
because
they
probably
will
be
applying
for
this
for
this
RFP.
But
we
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
how
we
can
sort
of
work
with
entities
to
ensure
that
not
only
we're
training,
different
different
colors,
different
sectors
of
Behavioral
and
mental
health
providers,
but
keep
them
here.
Yeah.
J
B
Just
think
that
sort
of
like
you
know,
everybody
gets
something
like
kind
of
framework
to
me
like
getting
800
folks
in
child
care,
more
cemented
in
the
city
systems,
a
big
win
and
I
would
love
to
see.
You
know
things
and
it's,
and
also
using
some
of
our
good
educational,
Partners.
So
we'd
love
to
see
a
similar
thing
come
out
for
you
guys
and
then
also
just
noting
that
you're,
you
know,
I
think
you
guys
still
have
a
lot
of
contracts
unsettled
over
on
your
Workforce
side.
B
B
Look
like
you
know.
It
would
be
a
shame
if
you
guys
settled
a
bunch
of
contracts
that
didn't
have
those
things
in
them
and
then
you
did
all
this
analysis
in
this
group
and
you
realized.
It
would
really
be
great
if
we
could
support
our
workers
in
this
way
and
then
we
were
in
a
conversation
about
well
that
would
be
subject
to
bargaining.
So
we
need
to
reopen
bargaining
or
wait
three
years
or
you
know
so,
I'm.
Just
flagging
that
it
would
be
good
to
make
sure
since
you.
K
K
We
call
it
win
and
within
win,
we
focus
in
on
these
issues
of
compensation
and
benefits,
and
we
have
done
a
lot
in
terms
of
both
teleworking,
as
well
as
a
compensation
review
as
well
as
looking
with
our
labor
and
employment
Folks
at
you
know
different
steps
and
grades
of
of
the
lower
level
sort
of
employment
and
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
how
to
improve
both
compensation
and
benefits,
as
well
as
our
balance.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
Staff
appreciation
events.
K
We
have
a
lot
of
wellness
and
reflection
and
a
lot
of
issues
a
lot
of
work
that
we're
doing
to
address
these
issues
of
trauma,
particularly
within
the
public
health
department
based
on.
What's
happened
during
covet
and
not
feeling
appreciated
and
increasing
morale,
so
we've
put
for
worth
a
dedicated
effort
towards
addressing
these
issues
and
certainly
are
looking
at
it.
In
terms
of
our
open
contracts,.
B
K
Yeah,
no,
no,
it's
a
little
bro,
it's
broader
than
that,
so
it
really
is
about
Community
engagement.
So
it's
about
bringing
in
business
owners.
They
actually
work
with.
You
know:
law
enforcement
in
the
area
they
work
with
community
members,
community-based
organizations
really
addressing
these
issues
of
stigma,
but
then
also
giving
people
the
tools
to
look
at
referrals,
so
Pine
Street
is
certainly
involved
in
the
referral
process
we
bring
in
ahope.
You
know
if
there
is
a
need
for
increase,
we've
noticed
a
need
for
increased
testing
or
increased.
K
You
know
syringe
services
in
the
area
as
well
as
other
you
know
clinical
providers
around
the
around
the
city.
So
it's
really
meant
to
be
comprehensive
and
I.
Think
it's
a
work
in
progress
and
the
East
Boston
team
may
look
a
little
bit
different.
The
contract
is
just
final,
getting
finalized
with
that
and
they're.
You
know
sort
of
looking
at
Staffing,
so
we
do
look
forward
to
a
pretty
thorough
evaluation
too.
We
have
like
an
evaluation
system
that
will
follow
out.
B
I
saw
you
mentioning
like
putting
out
an
RFP
and,
and
one
question
I
have
is
just
about
how
the
office
of
early
childhood
and
BPS
are
working
in
concert,
because
my
hesitation
to
be
honest
about
bringing
in
a
private
partner
to
build
an
enrollment
platform,
is
that
if
they
don't
have
good
connections
into
the
to
you
know
into
BPS
and
an
ability
to
really
like
work
with
you
guys
and
how
to
use,
keep
your
data.
And
then,
if
and
then
they
don't
have
the
relationships
that
you
guys
have
been
building
with.
B
All
of
our
child
care
providers
in
large
part.
By
giving
these
grants
away
like
I,
don't
really
I,
don't
really
want
to
sort
of
Outsource
the
creation
of
this
platform
to
a
private
entity
that
is
less
well
connected
than
we
are
to
this
ecosystem
and
doesn't
have
access
to
the
sort
of
key
data.
So
I'm
just
wondering
how
we're
even
thinking
about
the
kind
of
architecture
and
and
shared
responsibility
for
that.
L
There's
no
final
decision
made
about
how
it
will
be,
but
I
think
until
now
the
conversation
revolves
more
around
not
creating
a
new
platform
but
from
all
the
ones
we
have,
because
from
my
understanding,
there's
different
platforms
depending
on
if
it's
a
center
or
if
it's
a
BPS
upk
slot
or
if
it's
BPS
for
other
things,
so
how
to
unify.
So,
maybe
just
choosing
one
of
the
current
platforms
to
serve
everyone,
and
so
it
wouldn't
be
a
creation
like
from
scratch,
start
from
zero
e.
L
Child
cares.
This
would
be
like
an
extra
layer
when
it
comes
to
enrollment
and
it
would
depend
on
the
platform.
So
it's
not
a
there's
nothing.
On
paper.
This
RFP
is
in
not
even
being
written,
yet
we're
still
in
the
more
of
the
talking
face
and
deciding
which
one
platform
would
be
the
one
that
we
stick
with.
B
Two
of
the
like
focuses
that
you
mentioned,
but
obviously
in
terms
of
the
sort
of
like
structural
sustainability
of
BPS,
there's
almost
nothing
more
important
right
now
than
reversing
the
enrollment
Trends,
especially
in
the
early
ages,
and
so
just
kind
of
curious,
whether
any
of
the
Esther
funds
are
being
headed.
That
way
and
what
then,
whether
you
know
anything
about
what
the
nature
of
kind
of
how
BPS
is
looking
at
this
enrollment
side
thing
is.
F
F
B
Okay,
that's
fine!
Maybe
we
follow
up
on
that
and
my
last
thing
is
really
just
an
editorial
comment:
more
Dan
on
so
yeah
super
excited.
You
know
the
council's
obviously
been
big
supporters
of
the
acquisition
opportunity
program.
You
know
put
50
million
into
that.
We
yeah
we
love
it
and
we
love.
So
many
of
the
things
that
you're
doing
I
am
very
excited
about
this
idea
of
developing
mixed
income,
housing
on
public
land
and
obviously,
you've
got
a
couple
of
spots
that
you're
thinking
about
that.
B
I
want
a
flag,
and
it's
more
of
my
view
in
an
ongoing
conversation
that
I
just
like
to
bring
up
periodically
that,
like
I
personally,
think
that
we
should,
if
we're
building
this
PO,
this
housing
on
public
land,
that
it
would
actually
make
sense
for
it
to
remain
publicly
owned.
I
think
that
you
can
contract
with
a
private
entity
to
you
know
to
supervise
the
building.
Much
like
you
know,
MIT
or
Harvard
does
whenever
they
build
a
dorm,
it's
not
like.
B
They
have
Harvard
employees
building
the
dorm,
but
they
do
retain
ownership
and
they
don't
like
when
they
hire
an
ownership.
They
don't
give
them
a
stake
of
the
ownership
in
the
dormitory
and
and
also
it
would
be
fine
for
us
to
be,
of
course,
partnering
with
other
partners
to
like
to
manage
housing
in
the
long
term
and
certainly
for
mixed
income
housing.
B
That's
a
little
bit
of
a
different
competency
than
what
the
housing
authorities
historically
done,
but
I
just
think
like,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
mixed
income
communities
in
some
of
our
like
increasingly
expensive
neighborhoods.
To
me,
like
the
idea
that
we
build
on
public
land
and
then
the
value
prop
over
the
long
term
would
go
into
private
hands,
because
somebody
won
an
RFP
from
us
like
I
I,
just
think
it's
not
the
optimal
thing
from
The
public's
perspective.
B
Obviously
also
if
we
retain
public
ownership,
the
ability
to
bond
and
support
of
these
projects
is
there
I
recognize.
There
are
other
things
that
go
off
the
table
if
we
do
that,
but
I
I
just
want
to
continue
to
put
my
plugin
for
public
development
on
public
land
and
say
that
that
is
a
direction
that
at
least
on
some
of
these
sites,
I'm
very
hopeful
that
the
that
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
will
explore.
G
Just
want
to
say
thanks
counselor
for
that
and
I
think
yeah
I'll
bring
that
back.
You
know
it's
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
trade-offs.
It's
a
very
complicated
question
but
I
think.
Oh,
we
appreciate
we
appreciate
the
push
and
I
think
and
obviously
we're
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
position
right
now
in
City
owned
land.
So
thank
you
and
I'll.
Take
that
back.
Yeah.
B
It
just
feels,
especially
with
the
big
ones
like
because
it
is
hard
for
us
to
I,
think
disposing
of
the
the
little
Parcels
that
we
have
scattered
across
I
know.
A
lot
of
them
are
in
Council
Royals
District,
where
there's
an
opportunity
for
home
ownership.
Somebody
can
own
that
you
know
free
and
clear
I,
think
that
makes
a
ton
of
sense.
B
It's
we,
as
we've
learned
actually
with
the
scattered
site
portfolio,
a
tough
thing
to
sort
of
manage
at
scale
when
you're
talking
about
building
like
a
lot
of
housing
on
a
big
piece
of
public
land.
I'll
just
say
that
in
London
there's
a
they
call
them
a
council
estate.
It's
a
Housing
Authority
around
King's
cross
and
they
actually
did
a
big
mixed
income.
Housing
development
there
that
they
just
continue
to
own
and
they
they
hired
an
architect.
B
They
hired
you
know
Builders
and
then
you
know
and
they've
hired
a
management
company
that
manages
the
sort
of
like
luxury
housing.
That's
mixed
in
with
the
new
Council
Flats,
but
fundamentally
that
Revenue
stream
is
coming
back
to
them
and
it's
the
way
that
the
Council
of
State
continues
to
fund
a
lot
of
its
other
activities
for
low-income
people.
So
I
just
I
just
want
a
flag,
it
can
be
done.
It's
a
different
model,
I
also
people,
some
of
our
wonderful
Partners
who
count
on
being
the
successful
respondents
to
these
rfps.
B
Don't
necessarily
love
this
proposal,
but
I
do
think
that
it
should
be
in
the
mix
and
especially
when
we're
talking
about
land
that
is
public
at
the
moment,
so
I
I.
So
those
are
all
my
questions.
I
hate
to
say,
I
do
have
to
I.
Do
have
to
ask
a
few
questions
on
behalf
of
counselor
Coletta
who,
as
I
mentioned,
has
been
watching
from
home,
so
I
I'm,
sorry
to
keep
all
the
Chiefs
here,
but
I
just
wanted
to
I
had
a
few
of
those
quickly
for
her
so
well.
B
One
thing
was
just
this
is
a
this
is
a
thank
you
to
you,
Dan
and
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
for
the
12
million
dollars
for
the
Blue
Line
portfolio.
She's
super
excited
about
that
and
says
I
understand.
The
money
has
already
been
exchanged
to
assist
with
the
acquisition.
So
thank
you
for
getting
it
out
the
door
so
quickly.
B
G
Sure
so
we
launched
the
new
arpa
funded
guidelines
with
up
to
five
percent
down
payment
assistance
of
up
to
five
percent
of
the
purchase
price
with
down
payment
assistance.
As
of
October,
1st
I
believe
we've
supported
15
residents
to
get
home
since
October
1st
and
then
are
sorry
to
do
a
big
marketing
push.
So
hopefully
that
number
will
increase
a
lot.
Soon
is
a
challenge
because
the
costs
are
so
high
out
there
and
the
interest
rates
are
so
high.
G
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we're
working
with
lenders
to
potentially
do
a
bigger
interest
rate
buy
down
as
part
of
our
OnePlus
loans
and
then
on.
The
Maha
stash
program.
We'd
have
to
ask
on
specific
numbers
of
demographics,
for
them.
They've
been
running
the
program
for
the
last
two
years,
with
our
support
and
then
there
we
updated
the
guidelines
to
go
from
a
two
to
one
match,
to
a
five
to
one
match
with
these
arpa
funds,
and
so
they've
actually
been
pretty
successful.
B
B
A
E
I
think,
typically,
just
as
we
talk
through
Grant
agreement
process,
I
think
as
we
shared
in
the
slides,
we
hope
to
get
the
grant
agreements
to
the
organizations
in
mid-December,
I'm
sure
they're
since
they're
excited,
hopefully
they'll
sign
them
quite
quickly,
and
then
it
typically
takes
like
two
to
three
weeks
for
us
to
get
the
funds
out
given
the
size
of
Grants.
We
can't
do
the
grant
payment
in
one
full
chunk,
but
we
will
continue
to
make.
E
B
And
then
I
don't
know
exactly.
This
is
maybe
for
chief
white
Hammond,
but
about
the
solarize
EC
program.
Councilor
Colette
is
just
asking
how
many
residents
have
signed
up
for
the
program.
Are
there
any
challenges
related
to
implementation
and
how
has
engagement
been
with
renters,
who
want
to
help,
but
don't
own
a
home
yeah.
I
I
I
I
So
we
are
getting
creative,
but
I
would
be
more
than
willing
if
the
counselor's
interested
in
hearing
more
from
our
staff
their
there
are
some
unique
challenges
that
I
think
are
larger
and
easty
than
they
might
have
been
in
other
or
that
they
would
be
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
but
yeah,
great
and
I
can
follow.
I
can
get
the
direct
numbers
and
follow
up,
but
I
would
love
to
also
have
a
conversation
about
some
of
the
challenges
because
there
have
been.
B
Some
yeah
I
feel
confident
that
I
can
say
uncounselor
close
behalf
that
she
would
love
to
have
that
conversation
with
you
and
definitely
help
you
know,
brainstorm
solutions
to
those
challenges
and
obviously
also
get
those
numbers
but
because
I'm
sure
she's
excited
it's
happening
in
East
Boston,
but
obviously
wants
it
to
really
happen
for
people
yeah,
so,
okay
and
then
also
on
the
East
Boston
front.
Back
to
you,
Dr
ojukutu
meant
the
mention
of
a
new
community
engagement
team
in
East
Boston.
B
K
So
that
those
are
great
questions
I'm,
trying
to
see
if
I,
how
much
I
have
right
now,
so
all
I
really
have
is
that
we've
completed
the
contract
and
we're
in
the
hiring
startup
base.
We
probably
just
have
our
job
descriptions
up
and
running.
I
can
follow
up
with
councilor
Coletta
after
this
to
give
her
a
better
sense
of
specifically
what
we're
looking
for,
but
it
will,
it
will,
be,
you
know,
three-year
funding.
I
think.
All
of
these
are
you
know,
sort
of
great
positions.
K
The
Nubian
engagement
team
has
a
number
of
just
Street
Outreach
folks,
people
who
are
very
well
versed
in
community
engagement.
People
who
understand
harm
reduction
and
also
understand
how
to
decrease
stigma
amongst
folks,
so
I
think
we're
probably
looking
for
a
similar
type
of
team,
but
why
don't
I
follow
up
with
her
after
this
meeting
yeah.
B
That
would
be
great
and
then
the
last
thing
is
I.
Think
probably
more
of
a
sort
of
comment
for
BPS,
for
you
to
take
back
Serena
rather
than
a
question
is
just
as
you
as
you
know,
the
council
allocated
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
O'donnell
School
playground
in
East
Boston.
That
I
guess
is
you
know
it's.
B
You
know
from
PFD
VPS
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
actually
are
able
to
use
those
dollars
and
and
have
them.
You
know
fully
committed
by
the
deadline
and
everything
so
just
wanted
to
remind
the
school
department,
and
if
you
can
bring
that
back
to
Nate
and
Co-op,
that
would
be
awesome
and
Casey.
I
know
you're,
aware
of
that
one
as
well.
Okay,
I
think
those
are
all
of
the
circleetta
for
being
with
us.
B
All
in
in
one
push
as
we
did
was
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
would
be
able
to
be
doing
this
work.
You
know
without
having
to
keep
coming
back
at
every
stage,
just
to
get
the
money
authorized,
but
we
will
keep
having
you
back
to
ask
you
questions
about
how
it's
going
so
I
hope
everyone
understands
that.
That's
that's
very
much
because
we're
all
we're
all
swimming
in
the
same
direction
here
I'm
going
to
join
in
a
second
but
I'll.
C
You,
like
our
conversation,
has
generated
more
questions,
but
that's
fine,
I
I
really
appreciate
you
all
been
here
and-
and
you
know
it's
it's
it's
exciting
to
think.
We
have
all
this
this
capacity,
this
money
available,
and
it's
very
mindful
in
how
we're
spending
it.
There's
some
money
still
on
the
table.
I
think
there's
70
million
seven
million
somewhere,
that's
on
on
on
on
determined
by
where
it's
going
to
be
a
I.
Don't
know
if
that's
if
there
any
thoughts
on
where
that's
that
that
allocated,
seven
million
is
going
to
go.
E
C
And
you
know,
in
my
conversations,
I
make
a
point
of
visiting
our
schools
twice
a
year,
and
one
thing
I
hear
is
that
you
know
we
have
paraprofessionals
in
schools
who
are
multilingual.
They
are.
They
are
really
a
resource
that
we
need
to
look
at
in
terms
of
career
development,
to
get
them
into
a
teacher
to
really
use
them
as
a
way
to
develop.
Our
teacher
diversity
and
I
was
wondering
you
know:
we've
got
seven
million
to
spare
here.
C
Is
there
ways
to
to
support
our
Professionals
in
in
pursuing
a
a
bachelor's
degree
in
education,
so
they
can
become
graduate
up
to
becoming
fully
fledged
classroom
teachers
as
a
way
to
expand
our
capacity
to
have
a
really
diverse
teaching
teacher
Diversity
Program
that
that
was
really
helpful
across
the
board.
But
that's
those
are
really
just
more
thoughts
and
I.
Look
forward
to
the
conversation
going
forward.
C
B
Thank
you,
counselor,
Braden
and
I
do
think.
We'll
have
I
think
you
know.
The
workforce
point
is
another
follow-up
point
with
VPS
and
I
think
there
you
know
it
does
seem
to
me
like,
although
there's
been
conversations
about
it
all,
there's
still
user
funds
at
BPS
that
haven't
haven't
quite
been
really
allocated
to
their
final
destination.
B
I
think
the
mayor
had
hoped
that
we
would
leave
a
little
bit
more
there
and
I
think
that
the
idea
is
to
just
sort
of
know
where
the
economy
is
in
in
a
few
months
before
starting
to.
But
obviously
we
have
to
spend
that
money
before
the
obligation
deadline.
So
we
will
look
forward
to
further
conversations
all
right
well
with
that
I
want
to
just.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming
I'm
going
to
just
check.
Do
we
have
any
public
testimony
Shane,
all
right?
B
No,
no
one's
filed
for
public
testimony
just
a
reminder
that
if
you
watch
this
after
the
fact-
and
you
want
to
send
us
testimony
about
arpa
funds
and
covert
recovery,
any
kind
of
thing
CCC
dot
covid-19
at
boston.gov
is
the
email
address
and
we
collect
it
there
all
right.
Thank
you.
This
hearing
of
Boston
City
council's
committee
on
boss's
covid-19
recovery
is
adjourned.
