How will HPD after the one year waiver ensure that these units are better targeted to the relevant applicants and filled as quickly as possible?
1:17:18
Okay.
1:17:20
Thank you.
1:17:20
We'll continue to stay in touch about the the timeline on all of these pieces.
1:17:24
That's very helpful.
1:17:43
Just running through my questions here.
1:17:44
One one moment.

So the, you know, the first thing I would say here is that whether it's our initial or our re rental, the the main objective is to make sure that all our units, which are funded by all New Yorkers, is available to everyone who's looking for housing.
1:15:53
The people from Brooklyn pay taxes that build housing and fund housing in The Bronx.
1:15:58
And so our first step is to make sure that we have a system that that rests on these fair housing principles and access mobility principles.
1:16:09
The last the the next bit of it is that in the way that we set up re rentals, we've already had a way to try to get people more more clear about the type of housing they would move to and what type of housing is the best fit for themselves and their family.
1:16:24
That's actually a key part of doing fair housing mobility work.
1:16:28
And so we're going to be looking at that as a critical piece of making sure that we're matching people well.
1:16:36
In addition to the updates to update your profile if your circumstances changes, so does your housing interest and what kind of re rentals would be a good fit should may change.
1:16:46
And then also your status as to whether or not you are currently continuing to look for housing opportunities.
1:16:53
Some people have transitioned into different situations.
1:16:56
They moved out of the city, they've maybe purchased a home, they are in a rental situation that they are not looking to leave.
1:17:05
How do we get that information into the process, so that when we are drawing that data down, we are matching people to housing opportunities anywhere in the city that's a better match for them.
1:17:45
I will have water.
1:17:46
This is a good water break.
