Okay, with CCHR and CW be considered coordinating on financial and lending education and outreach.

I can I can take that one?
0:33:25
So I think for ourselves, education is a cornerstone of the work of the agency, ensuring folks understand what their rights and protections are.
0:33:33
That that applies to consumer reduction, financial impairment, even worker protection too.
0:33:38
So we will always be happy to partner with our our sibling agencies in that sense.
0:33:42
To get the word out.
0:33:42
And we do partner currently on events as well.
0:33:45
So it's it's really, I think, part of the efforts of this administration to ensure we're coordinated at all times.

Yeah.
0:33:51
And I'll just add to that in the education and outreach.
0:33:54
The public facing work we we do in concert already.
0:33:59
And we think that's effective since there's a wealth of information that both of our agencies hold.
0:34:04
We also refer cases to each other or to to other agencies or organizations when when that's appropriate.
0:34:11
So there's information sharing also outside of the the event space.
