Can we purchase gift cards and expend funds by end of July and distribute them after the July deadline?

26:21
I see we could use the funds for gift cards but can we use them for money order(s) so that we have a little more time to spend the funds?

27:07
Can you please allow us to provide aggregate client info, rather than each client separately as requested in last year's report? We have concerns about confidentiality.

This is a huge reporting burden.

31:06

31:34

33:08
@Saara the PPAP funds are a different pot and shouldn’t conflict with this pot.

We run a transitional housing community for survivors of sex trafficking, and it's fully staffed. If we include staff salaries, for reporting do we then need to provide documentation to verify that everyone in that housing community was a victim of trafficking?

staff...

53:56
