Thank you for that question.

The key challenge is a lack of information and the the uncertainty of who homeowners can trust.
1:45:27
I think there is a lot of distrust because of histories of disinvestment, of, disinformation.
1:45:37
And so I think making sure that homeowners know that there is trusted trustworthy information, that there are free resources, is, again, really key.
1:45:49
So it's both knowing about the resources and trusting that they, are are available to to help you as a homeowner.
