And and My question is 2 other questions.
1:28:53
1, I am a big supporter of the residents of Nieta.
1:28:56
Mhmm.
1:28:56
And I feel like Nieta does not provide programs that would enable people not to end up in your system or anybody else's system.
1:29:03
So my question is, what is the percentage if you know of your casel that is a resident of nature.
Alex Stein
1:29:10
Do you
Gale A. Brewer
1:29:10
have that number?
Juanita Holmes
1:29:12
You what?
1:29:14
I thought you had that, Nigel residents.
1:29:17
We'll get it.
1:29:17
I'll get it.
1:29:18
I'll make sure I get it back to you because we have looked at that because I wanted to look at it.
1:29:22
I know a lot of the map locations have some programs that are going on, and I believe it used to be I
Gale A. Brewer
1:29:27
know map very well.
Juanita Holmes
1:29:28
Right.
1:29:28
So it used to be about 16 maps.
1:29:30
What is it?
1:29:30
30 something now, I think.
Gale A. Brewer
1:29:32
Map has its challenges, however.
1:29:34
Okay.
1:29:36
Okay.
1:29:36
I mean, I know Matt very well.
1:29:38
The issue for me is Nitra needs support.
1:29:42
They need their their community centers to be open more often.
1:29:46
They need, if it's not mapped, something else, etcetera.
1:29:49
So I guess my question is, I don't know what your percentage is.
1:29:52
I was just wondering what it is for Nitro, because if it's fairly high, which I assume it is, I don't know that.
1:29:58
Then why are we not doing more at night shift?
1:30:01
Not so they don't end up in your system?
1:30:02
That's my question.
1:30:03
Do you work with night shift to say night shift?
1:30:06
I screen Manuel about this all the time.
Juanita Holmes
1:30:07
A lot about neon centers are right there in those locations.
1:30:11
So we have the 7 neon locations open to the community.
1:30:14
That's why when next steps was canceled, we plugged most of the children right into the arches, which was not being you know, it was it didn't have enough clients attending it.
1:30:25
So there was plenty of space in arches, which is right there.
1:30:28
But also about 7 neon centers are in those specific areas.
Gale A. Brewer
1:30:33
Okay.
1:30:34
So I guess what I'm asking is maybe not now, but I'd like to get a breakdown.
Juanita Holmes
1:30:38
Yeah.
1:30:38
And also So we
Robert Maldonado
1:30:39
we do have a program right now where our clients are run through a service provider that then provides workforce.
Gale A. Brewer
1:30:47
At Nitro.
Robert Maldonado
1:30:48
At Nitro.
Gale A. Brewer
1:30:49
Okay.
1:30:49
Beth, 1.
1:30:50
You got about
King Downing
1:30:51
It's a
Gale A. Brewer
1:30:52
400,000 residents or 600,000 depending on who's counting.
1:30:56
So you need what I'm saying is Are you working with night shift to see if there are other places where you can provide programs?
1:31:02
They can provide programs.
1:31:04
I can't get the city administration to say more support for Nitro?
Juanita Holmes
1:31:08
We will I will definitely counsel member.
1:31:11
Absolutely.
1:31:12
Look into it and get back to it.
1:31:14
And if we're not, we will
Gale A. Brewer
1:31:15
alright.
1:31:16
I'm sure you're not.
1:31:17
That's what I'm sure of.
Juanita Holmes
1:31:18
We'll make sure of that.
Gale A. Brewer
1:31:19
Okay.
