The family did not receive clear information about whether their current shelter is operated by the Department of Homeless Services (DHS) or subject to the 60-day rule.
- They are unsure if they are residing in a DHS shelter at the moment.
- They do not know if the 60-day rule for temporary housing applies to their current situation.
- The council member is trying to understand the circumstances around their housing and if their child's education has been disrupted by the relocation from their previous shelter near PS 124.

The wind shelter?

And then my second question is, are you still in a DHS department of homeless services operated shelter?

And can you discuss how it's been to how your child's education has been either interrupted or what are the challenges now since you don't live near PS 124.

I just wanted to get at that because I'm curious, because where they were, was not under the 60 day rule.
0:34:40
And I'm wondering if where they are right now is within the purview of the 60 day rule.
0:34:45
Yeah.
0:34:45
Do they know that?
UNKNOWN
0:34:46
They they're not aware of.

They don't know if they had 60 days.
UNKNOWN
0:34:49

0:34:49
