Can you just clarify, of the folks like so for example, the last six months you're saying 94 folks but only seven were identified as being part is is that because that is like an affirmative number?

Meaning, could there have been other people who were also receiving the services but that just weren't caught or was that like an explicit question that was asked?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
