Although the word "parks" was mentioned, the meeting did not actually discuss forests or green spaces. Instead, the term was used in the context of transportation and housing, specifically referring to local "park and rides" for commuter transit and "manufactured home parks" where community outreach is conducted.

What was said
56:39 - Both of what you're talking about requires that the people you serve reach out to you. There have to be people who are not able to reach out to you who need what you provide. Do you have the resources? Do you even know who they are? Was there a way to find out so that you can reach out to them to help them sort of get started once they, once they get started, they might be okay once they get started? - Mm-hmm, yeah. You know, you hear us, all of us say we're the best kept secret, right, whether it's Commission on Aging, Community Motion, or ATSWA. And so it does take intentionality of doing outreach. We've done that very mindfully with you all. You know, five years ago, we didn't have a dedicated position for outreach. We do that now, and so we can do more of that. Prior to me coming here, I was at one of the local
57:38 manufactured home parks sharing information, and so we are very mindful of getting out to those communities who might need us most. We leverage social media, the websites, having our staff out in community. If there are, for example, community events happening, we'll have folks there to host resource tables. But at the end of the day, the need is greater than our capacity to do outreach, right? When you're talking about, you know, like I think about our family caregiver program, right, it's a great program, there's a wait list for it because the need surpasses what we have funding for. Could I go out and do more outreach? Yes. Could we serve more people? Not right now. We can put you on the wait list, but we can't serve more people. So I wish we lived in an ideal world where there was enough funding, enough outreach staff to go out and get the word out to everyone.
58:36 But we need to do, there's more work to do around outreach, and there's more need than resources. And this is Cass, and again, who's your responsibility?
