My last question I thank you, chairs, for, allowing me this opportunity.
1:59:09
My last question is, with the the the administration beginning to scale back, the shelters because, I guess, the numbers of the migrants have gone to decline in terms of who's in the care of the city.
1:59:28
I'd like to know what what phase will the shelter on Beach 21st and the shelter in Edgemere be in terms of being phased out.
1:59:41
Now that communities are being prioritized considering that my district, I think probably second to council member Juan's is, like, one of the most saturated with shelters in general.
1:59:52
And so wanting to know what that plan of action is and if the $10,000,000,000 you have is gonna go towards beginning to connect migrants or necessary services and transitioning them out of shelter.
2:00:07
And that that's where I'll end up with this.

Thank you, chairs.
