Okay, I'm gonna start with the website issue council member.
1:33:02
So I recently emergency housing services was placed into my portfolio.
1:33:08
I was not aware even that there was an emergency housing services page because there is a page on vacates that has much more information about emergency housing services.
1:33:18
And so we appreciate you bringing that to our attention so we can combine or redistribute the information on those web pages to make that more clear to to the public.

In terms of the vacates to the households that come into ARC to the resins, I think it's very difficult to draw that line directly.
1:33:41
I can certainly tell you in terms of HPD vacates and I don't know if we're just still talking about just fires or we're talking about all, but we can certainly provide you with information on how many vacates.
1:33:58
I believe our open data provides information on HPD vacates including the number of units vacated and the general reason for the vacate.
1:34:10
So we can certainly break that down for you.
1:34:13
And then in terms of emergency housing services, the number of households that come in from fires versus other types of vacates.
1:34:21
That will take us a little time to put together but that's information that can be available.

Okay, thank you.
1:34:27
I know I get an email, ARC is amazing, they send us a lot of information after every fire where they're present and they tell us how many families were served so it'd be great to have all that information in one place.
