Public Health continues to increase its presence in the community. Outreach increased from 94 events in 2024 to 147 in 2025, more than one per week, strengthening relationships and delivering faster support where it’s needed most.
These stronger connections are making a difference. During the immigration enforcement surge, staff provided families with express food packs from VEAP during home visits, WIC appointments and immunization clinics. They also partnered with other City departments, including the Sustainability team to share food and essentials at a Utility Bill Skills Fair for residents facing both food and utility challenges.
Public Health will distribute Go Kits with hygiene essentials and infant health supplies to reach residents who need immediate support.
