Thank you.
6:12:55
I have a question because I have 2 members from my community here.
6:13:01
So I'll start with past the period first.
6:13:03
Past their peer.
6:13:04
What type of housing do you are you seeing that we need in the northeast Bronx that many constituents are coming to your faith based institution and action about?
Paul Peart
6:13:17
Thank you for the question, Konstantin.
6:13:19
We need all kind of housing, but especially senior housing.
6:13:23
Senior housing is is very short.
6:13:26
A lot of 4 members that are elderly have to move out of the community to find housing.
6:13:31
And that again creates a lot of difficulties.
6:13:33
But also housing for families is also important.
