So I think I'll just add, and I know Councilmember Hudson shares this sentiment that some of the most desired services that our constituencies ask for is legal representation, legal counseling, especially surrounding issues with tenants and even homeowners, whether it be the tax lien sale, potential deed theft, just questions that they want to get answered by experts.

Our offices are open five days a week and people are consistently coming into our offices with these issues.

Any type of support that we could receive, additional support, consistent additional support that we can receive from the administration to provide that legal counseling, expertise to our constituents, I think is the best format or medium to provide those services to our constituents, especially as development continues to occur within our communities.
