What percent of those people are rejected because they don't meet the qualifications in any given batch?
0:29:26
What's the average percentage that people are rejected because they don't fit the criteria for a given unit?
0:29:42
People are rejected though, correct?
0:29:45
Okay.
0:30:03
Around that.
0:30:04
I love to see that.
0:30:05
And then how long between each batch of offers?
0:30:08
You give a batch, how many weeks until the next batch is offered?
0:30:16
Like on average like you guys send out a batch of two fifty.
0:30:20
On average how many weeks does it take to then offer the next batch?
Ahmed Tigani
0:29:35
I don't
0:29:44
Yes.
0:29:45
And it could be something on the early part where there is it's eligibility for the unit.
0:29:52
It could be income eligibility.
0:29:54
It could if it's in the preference category, it's a preference piece and then they're moved into the general pool.
0:29:58
There are a lot of different reasons why that happened.

0:30:27
I'm gonna give you a number for one of them.
0:30:29
So they're different for different sized buildings, the lottery can be more or less complicated.
0:30:34
So we provide a batch of applicants to our marketing agent.
0:30:38
The marketing agent goes through that process.
0:30:41
When you're done with files and decide whether an applicant is the right applicant or not, that's when we will will give more information for them to flow through.
0:30:50
I think the number we're at is around when it reaches the marketing agent is about forty to forty five days.
0:30:55
Okay.
0:30:55

Emily Osgood
0:29:37
