Keya can you make sure Andrew’s answer is in the minutes? Thanks!

Is it possible to know how much funding is left from previous fiscal years?

I have my hand raised— is it possible to unmute me for a question?

Will follow up

Thanks very much.

Thank you, Commissioner Chatterjee. It seems like that should more than cover our meeting costs and we should get that money into the community.

Agreed. Thank you Commissioner Chatterjee.

Hi, can we ask quesitons?

I have a question on this

Can we discuss the update on Serve Your City grant?

is that requirement for Mr. Cook to appear a pre-stated stipulation?

++++ Maddy

were other grant applications tabled?

It does not pass a sniff test to reject a grant proposal because the commission might have to buy a few cameras. This is outrageous.

We do not have an understanding

Make more grant funds

Your people are suffering

This is really disturbing

People are hungry

What is more important than the wellbeing of our neighbors?

We can stay on until 10pm to discuss that.

Fully agree with MAddy

People are STARVING.

IF we are spending $1975 a month and we have six months left, that would be only $11850 by October out of 23k

So cameras are a bigger priority than food and diapers for residents of 6A?

im so sadden by this meeting

Imagine having the power to help people in the community and instead worrying about ending a meeting on time and buying fancy cameras. I’m so outraged.

So shameful. There is money in 6A. It's the people's money. 6A is hoarding money from a Black-led community organization that provides DIRECT SERVICES and MUTUAL AID to Black and Brown residents in 6A. What is 6A playing at?

When was this decision to pause all grants made?

Why was it not shared publicly?

Was it voted on by the ANC?

I wish someone would have told the COC that we weren't doing any more grants

Wait, COC didn't even know about the decision to pause grants ?? Who made this decision? How was the decision made?

Has SYC been notified of this? Sounds like 6A has entirely wasted their time, which is even more disrespectful considering SYC literally feeds 6A residents.

+++ Thank you Commissioner Chatterjee, yes. This is unacceptable.

Agree!

the IZ bare minimum requirement is not ok. 80% AMI helps gentrifiers like me, not the DC residents who actually need affordable housing below 50% AMI

where in the agenda packet is it listed that all 6A grants are being paused?

vaccinate.dc.gov

and like the facebook page if you are on facebook

Anyone can request to join https://groups.google.com/g/anc-6a

also we need to tell SYC
