I think I think that's that's that's definitely helpful.

1:12:57

I think, obviously, this is on record.

1:12:59

And I really do appreciate how there's, at least somewhat of an idea of a time frame of when some of that money will be secured from FEMA.

1:13:07

I think what would be helpful for us as members of the council, just in terms of communication with our constituents is, it's great to hear that now.

1:13:15

But, if we can get, like, updates from NYCHA regularly on when this funding is coming down the pipeline.

1:13:22

Sure.

1:13:22

You know, consistent communication just allows us to do a better job, both of us to do a better job, just so that when we come into these hearings, we're not saying NYCHA is not doing anything.

1:13:33

Mhmm.

1:13:33

You know, we can go back to our constituents and give them a better timeframe of when this money is being, brought down from the federal government.

1:13:42

And in addition to that, I think it's always helpful for us to have a tool of receiving maybe like a specific chart of funding that's being used to fund these specific projects.

1:13:51

Right?

1:13:52

So, not only a timeline of when this funding is secured, but where that money is exactly going towards.

1:13:58

And I'm hearing that from you, of course, in terms of, you know, Hope Gardens and whatnot.

1:14:02

But I think just having a proper idea of which developments are getting this funding, where that funding's coming from, as well as when that funding will be secured would just be a helpful tool, for me as a member.

1:14:14

It won't speak for everyone else.
