The Department of Social Services (DSS) finds it challenging to implement the recommendation due to the complex nature of family behaviors.
- DSS notes discrepancies between the recommendation and actual family behaviors.
- The recommendation assumes families move as a unit, whereas in reality, adult family members may move separately.
- DSS aims to consider the full breadth of human behavior in their system planning.
- The department is currently thinking through how to address the complexity of tracking families who intermittently leave Path.

Dior, I also recommended the DSS track families who choose to intermittently leave path to to attend to other needs.

Will this recommendation be implemented?

So I think this one is is a place where it's a little bit challenging because DLI's recommendation and family's actual behavior doesn't entirely line up.

Right?

Their recommendation assumes the family always moves as a unit.

In fact, if you have 2 adults, you know, one adult may stay in the building, the other adult leaves the building.

Right?

So it's a little bit more complicated than what they recommended, and we do need to make sure that we're taking into account of the full breadth of human behavior as we are putting together our system.

That's the kind of thing that we are thinking through right now.
