Are there any conversations to expand the services available in the Bronx ACC so people living in that borough can access them.

We are very excited that we're hoping in the spring, in about a year from now, spring of twenty twenty six, to open that borough's first full service shelter and we're very much focused on that.

And at that time the Bronx residents won't have to travel to ACC in another location to adopt.
