Okay, think it would make sense because I happen to know how vulnerable they are since they're in my Absolutely.

The other question is the new needs, did you, maybe I missed it because I went downstairs for a few minutes to another meeting, but did you apply for any new needs in this budget?

You know, our new needs promise is a big one.
1:28:05
We are obviously assessing the foster care situation that we've been talking about as there's a new need or a cliff there.

And then have, OMB's added about $104,000,000 for childcare in fiscal twenty six.

So and obviously even though it was announced a long time ago in the state of the city, the Youth Safety and Success Program which will ramp up and within two years be about 40,000,000 plus investments in Fair Futures, College Choice, all the things I've been mentioning.
