I know.
1:52:13
That's why this is just a study.
1:52:16
Otherwise, we're, you know, we're not trying to put the cart before the horse.
1:52:19
Right.
1:52:20
Okay.
1:52:20
And then regarding the pre considered introduction about a 10 year plan to support aging in place, Can you describe NYC Aging's current long term planning efforts to serve New York City's older adults and help older adults age in place?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:52:35
I think we've discussed that at then, you know, looking at the way we plan services, the way we look at services comparing that with the growth and the demographic changes.
Crystal Hudson
1:52:44
So you would be open to a 10 year plan, like outlining?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:52:48
I don't think I don't think there is any objection to a 10 year plan.
1:52:56
It is, how is it that we would grow that incrementally?
1:53:00
And what are the corresponding services that are required to make that a 10 year plan?
Kevin Kiprovski
1:53:04
Mhmm.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:53:05
You know that caregiving, home care, transportation are all part of that?
1:53:08
Right.
1:53:09
So it's it's looking at the investments in those areas.
Crystal Hudson
1:53:13
Yes.
1:53:13
Also.
1:53:14
Yeah.
1:53:14
We we can't have a 10 year plan without investments for 10 years and beyond.
1:53:22
Bear with me just one moment.
1:53:24
Sure.
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
1:53:27
Thank you.
Crystal Hudson
1:53:30
Okay.
1:53:31
I believe that concludes my questions.
