Speaker 0: I mean, Human Services has a role to play in the administration because we have seen previously in this council what happens when when we just defer that responsibility to the providers. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you, Ron. Okay. We're going to move on to Resolution 500. Councilwoman Ortega.
Speaker 6: Thank you. Can I run by Ron?
Speaker 0: Come back up here.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at the email that I sent and realized that I was responding to an email that was sent to me. And I thought I forwarded it to Jay, but I responded back to my own staff person. So it didn't get to you guys. So I won't apologize for that. But let me just say that what I was looking for was information about what the procedure is now that's being utilized for disseminating those community service block grants. Do you all still have a committee in place that puts out notice to the community and then makes the selection of who gets awarded and for the various types of services?
Speaker 9: Yes, Councilman. Councilwoman Ortega we put out to bid. I think we can go over four years and then what we do is we do an RFP and gather that information. That's typical. I'm going to double check on the CSP grant to make sure that that's true of that grant.
Speaker 6: Okay. I can just tell you, when I was there, it was done every year because you get annual allocations and there are certain categories. So for me it would be helpful to know what are we funding and who are the providers we've been funding. I'm okay with the bill going forward, but I just wanted to learn a little bit about whether the procedure has changed. Is it a staff person doing that? Is there still a committee in place?
Speaker 9: I will get that information to you. I will get you the list of who the vendors are going to be, because those contracts are in the works right now. Most of them are, you know, have been previously funded through us.
Speaker 6: So is it primarily emergency services?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Emergency service providers?
Speaker 9: Yeah, there'd be shelter providers. The funding is relatively flexible, as you probably know. So a lot of it is designed to try to keep people from losing their housing and and shelters. And so it's it's fairly broad. But we'll get to the specifics of who the vendors are that are going to be contracted with for this funding this year, as well as the what specific services that they're going to be delivering.
Speaker 6: Great. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Ron, you can return to your seat now. All right. Thank you, Councilwoman Ortega. Councilman Lopez, we're pulling up our 13. Yeah, 513. You wanted to request on this?
