On I think it was you Jackie, thoughts I don't know if you heard HPD when they were responding to my around the contracting delays.
5:51:42
What's your perspective on on how they answer that question?
Jackie Del Valle
5:51:46
I think they said we've made great progress and they're working on it.
5:51:51
Is what okay.
5:51:54
No I mean there have not been a single multi year registered from HPD.
5:52:00
Not one.
5:52:01
I mean, I I know that they also manage you know, people spoke here that had shelters and scattered sites, that's not necessarily all you know, that's a little different funding.
5:52:12
But in terms of, you know, the money for the CLT program, the stabilizing program, the CHIPC, not a single contract has registered.
5:52:22
And I meet with them.
5:52:23
Their the staff is working really hard and I'm not sure what is still the bottlenecks, but they're there.
5:52:32
And they're they're not registering.
5:52:34
I I see it to be months if not years to actually be caught up still ahead.
