Thank you for the question, madam councilman.
0:48:12
And I'll say a little bit about Lamar too.
0:48:14
It's a two way street where we've been on offense and defense with this as far as making it clear as best we can, working with our partners over at NYCHA, over at HPD, and even the VA that we can get the word out that folks know, look, if you were looking at developing something, you're looking at building units, for veterans, please reach out and we can help talk with you about project basing the VASH vouchers, the VASH continuing vouchers, that's us going on offense.
0:48:35
Us on defense is, being fortunate to have folks who do come and who are inbounds with these requests so we can tell them exactly where to go to look at these things.
0:48:43
And we always tell folks too that our hpd made alias for this nyc.gov/hpdproject based r f p.
0:48:50
Two to four times per year housing preservation development makes an r f p available for those looking to obtain vouchers for support.
0:48:55
We tell folks go to nyc.gov/hpd project based RFP, fill that out and indicate in your application that you would like to build units as far as veterans housing.
0:49:05
So this is something where we've been very you know, aggressive in trying to get the word out and receiving folks when they come.
0:49:10
We assist and inform all stakeholders, including stakeholders in that community on these things.
0:49:14
I wanna Lamar, anything you wanna throw in on that?
