Second question is, When people, I am a strong believer in moving homeless families into the building, again, how does this fit into your concern?
0:53:02
Sometimes they don't have any services.
0:53:03
They just come in without support.
0:53:05
Social services is not on your list.
0:53:08
But support so that that family operates in a in a way that is supportive of the other families.
0:53:15
And I don't wanna chastise people who are homeless, and a lot many of them are wonderful.
0:53:20
But it's not easy to bring in and to this complex.
0:53:24
So there are a lot of issues that fit into your list that that family experiences.
0:53:29
And so that's the question that I think should at least be on your agenda.
