She <br /> 21 said the Navigators will now also be able to get benefits. <br /> 22 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Navigators will still be recruited from the <br /> 23 neighborhoods, and be a grassroots effort. <br /> 24 Quintana Stewart said yes, the only difference is that they will be County employees. <br /> 25 Commissioner Bedford asked if it is possible to get a copy of the report on behavioral <br /> 26 health services. <br /> 27 Quintana Stewart said she is scheduled to present this to the Board of County <br /> 28 Commissioners in the near future, and will get this information soon. <br /> 29 Travis Myren said the analysis is done, and awaiting approval of the cover letter. He <br /> 30 said it is a different population than the Criminal Justice report, but there are similar gaps. <br />
