We're hopeful, as I said earlier, to continue to be able to provide a continuity of care for the vast majority of families, and so we need continued federal, state, and city investment to do that, and so I think as we've discussed earlier, continuing the advocacy around that is key, but at the moment we're gonna continue to recertify families.
