Other question is about clubhouses.
2:25:12
You know, this is an ongoing issue.
2:25:14
Larger clubhouses are funded, but we need $4,000,000 for the smaller clubhouses.
2:25:19
The city council had to pick it up before.
2:25:21
Do you have any interest in this $4,000,000?
2:25:23
Very smart.
2:25:24
Keeps people with mental illness off the street, and mental illness issues are a focus of all of us.
2:25:30
We need $4,000,000 for clubhouses.
2:25:33
We put that in the exec.
Jacques Jiha
2:25:34
In this plan, we added $4,000,000 to continue the existing club house services.
Gale A. Brewer
2:25:42
For the big ones.
2:25:43
How about for the smaller ones?
2:25:44
There's two different RFP went out for the larger ones.
2:25:47
I'm talking about the smaller ones.
2:25:48
So far, no RFP.
Jacques Jiha
2:25:52
Well, again, as I said, we will discuss this as part of adoption.
2:25:57
Because again, that swap came to us in terms of requests.
2:26:02
And I will discuss it with DHMH and see if there is something specific that they were interested in.
Gale A. Brewer
2:26:12
We're interested.
Nantasha M. Williams

2:26:14
We're interested, just so you know.
