Yeah because and like that's my biggest issue right, and I know that when the city fest voucher was passed that was one of the things that chair kept speaking about, how are we keeping people in homes and like trying to pull back some of the restrictions to ensure that we don't have those instances.

And and that was to me, was just like, so then what what are they supposed to do?
1:19:10
And then we're putting people in a perpetual cycle of, you know, trauma and poverty and all these things, and so definitely wanna think about how do we continue to streamline that because that was like, I was like, that one's not right.

And like I said, the deputy speaker was working really hard and I know she reached out to your office and you guys have been working really hard, but I really want us to think about how do we whether there's getting information and making sure that all the council members have this because I am sure I'm not the only office that had outreach like this to make sure that we have the outreach and we know all the steps and all the different ways.
1:19:41
But, like, what what does this look like?
1:19:44
Because he was he like, I remember he was, like, crying when he was told he had to go to the shelter, and this is 85 year old man who was, I don't want to go to a shelter for thirty days, and he was crying, and I broke my heart.
