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.

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.

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.

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.

And that that's where I'll end up with this.
