But, yeah, it's only a seven week class there, and they're all, like, 18. So they don't know that much. Okay. And I was like, who better to learn from than from a resident?

I'm like, I got my sweater on, but maybe I could've tried a little harder. Miss Kathleen. Hey. I'll tell you this later. So I'll tell y'all if anything. So my sister was at the senate doing, I don't know, something last week. She's a lawyer. But she said, you know, only the speaker is allowed to use the gabbles.
I was like, oh. I use the gabbles. I use it all the time. Shamelessly. So nice. Anyway okay. So I think Javier is supposed to be coming, but since since I've already made a slate, if you wanna call us to do a roll call to call us for the order, please. Commissioner O'Rourke Here. Commissioner Goldwyn? Res Rosenblatt? I'm sorry, Lord. Folks have been here. She's gonna give you a whole new name tonight. Get rid of me. Commissioner Haines?
Here. Here. Commissioner Haines? Here. Great. Thank you, ma'am. Alright. We will now have a moment of silence. Okay. General announcements, meeting dates, reminders. Our next board work session is October 9 at 6PM, and our next regular meeting is October 27 at 6PM. The redevelopment committee meets every first Thursday of the month at 03:00. Safety committee, it looks like we have three on-site meetings coming up.
So, September 24 from one to two at Madison, October 1, at Mickey, and October 2 at Riverside. Sorry. All of those are from twelve to one. And then, resident services committee every second Tuesday of the month. The next one will be October 14 at one. And if you're gonna wanna send me the resident service committee, just send me an email, please, and I can send you the, the Zoom link for the meeting. Okay. And for those safety committee meetings, will there be Zooms for those or they're just
in person? So, I believe they're just in person, because these are gonna be the site based ones. Okay. We had, maybe a couple months ago, at one of the meetings, we had some residents, ask for us to do on-site specific meetings. Okay. Because oftentimes, when we have the group meetings, sometimes the folks who may be causing the problems are the ones that are there. Give them And so, you have folks that are hesitant to speak up. And so we're looking just to get more folks involved and gates with us.
And so we'll be doing it at every site. These are just the three sites to have dates so far. Okay. Yep. Gonna try. I'm gonna I'm gonna try. My bad. Yeah. I can't do the Wednesdays, but I'm a try for the Thursday. Yeah. Tuesdays and Wednesdays in person are a challenge for me because I'm in a different city. But, okay. Any public comments or far? Good evening. My name is Annette Wilcox. Should I sign my name? Wait a minute. Should I sign my name and address?
That's okay. We know we know you, miss Wilcox. Yes. I I and I yeah. I I was for I was I I miss going to roses to buy clothes and going to Reed's Market. And I I like the food buying mark to go grocery shop, shopping and you know, for for the past two years, I've had issues with with my apartment manager
not letting me me write they made me do a money order for the past two year years as a P1 housing. And I I said I'm I'm gonna be I have an appointment with with my current apartment manager and ask her where I should try try to live near Sojourner's Church of Christ for its chief and and and where the manager will let me
write checks. And I don't think that's a fair. That's got to stop. If I if I have any where where can I go to the house? There's also Crescent Crescent Falls and turn where can I go go to turn the note notes? Just give it to my manager. Miss Wilcox, if you have HCB questions, if you can go to the HCB office right here here on Fifth Street. I'll get with you after the meeting, and I'll show you.
We can walk together. I'll show you where the office is. Yeah. Okay. And the chef is the I've I've been to Crescent Hall for over the years. Yeah. That that HTV office is no longer in Crescent Hall. It's over here off the downtown mall. I will show you when we leave the meeting. Okay? I've I've I've been there at at at yes. 110 Fifth Street? 110 Fifth Street. Yep. I've I've been there. Okay. Yeah. That's where you would go. People. Thank you. Miss Gough? I can't do it right this year. I'm sorry.
I'm I'm busy. Okay. We'll get with you. Good evening, everyone. Good day. My name is Latricia Giles, and I'm the executive director of FAR. And I just wanted to give a few updates. We are currently recruiting for our next cohort for our internship program. That'll be beginning the week of October 21. So we have had a great start in our interviewing. I feel like we've had some great candidates, but we are still actively recruiting for a few more. So if, you can chat with any residents that you know or if they're hearing
this, please feel free to, send an email to stacy@farcville.org. She is the internship coordinator and will be able to send out an application. And if you can't get it via online, one of our community organizers can actually take an application to any resident who is in need of one. Is she, Stacy with a y or e y? S t a c e s t a c e y. E y. Okay. I have the same question. Wait. Look at I'm actually I'm losing my mind today. S t a c y.
I am so sorry. See, we threw you off. Yes. Because I was like, wait a minute. Stacy here to e y. No. But no. It is Stacy@farceeville.org. The next thing I wanted to give an update for residents on is our community power lab, which will be this Thursday, and we are doing a collaboration with CATLA. So that is gonna be at six p. M. But our community power lab is a designed space for residents to come and do resident led activities as far as what's going on. So they have, times where they'll be breaking into specific steering committees on specific things.
So people have concerns around youth safety, maintenance, whatever those causes are. I know that, out of that, actually, our first couple of meetings, we had a resident who was concerned around just creating a parental support group, for single parents or just parents in general. And from that, we were able to support the resident. We've worked with them on door knocking and flying about, the parental support group and then we hosted a space where they were able to have that for the residents. So that is some of the things that are happening out of the community power lab.
And so it's for residents only. We would love anyone else to join, but we really want it to be a place where residents voices really are centered and things are coming from them. So that is a space, like I said, this coming Thursday at 6PM. Once again, if you have a resident that you think would be interested in just learning a little bit more about organizing and advocacy, from a perspective of I might not have time to commit to our internship program, but I can commit an hour or two each week or each month to come into this space. So that is a great space for anybody who is a resident to join us.
And then just we just wanted to continue to say, I know that we've been working really well with on the mess West Main. So I just wanted to continue to say thank you to our resident planners that I know, Brandon has been working hard to help them, get them to the spaces, that we've been needing. We've been able to really continue, pressure on this project because of residents help, of course, and just making sure that they are there, and that we are also galvanizing other communities around this topic. So we have been making coalitions and building space with, tenth and page and also
working with Fifeville, who is also coming against some buildings on their side. So we are just grateful, to Brandon's, hard work on that area, but helping us to also just galvanize the greater community. So, I think that was all that I had so far, but I appreciate y'all listening. I appreciate you. Thank you so much. Do any other commissioners have any updates? No. I just have, a couple. One, we will be doing, prolific, and City of Promise will be working together to
do the Halloween spectacular again at Jenkins Park, with with our friends at West Haven. So it'll be on October 25 from one to three. And we've started our, costume drive, which few things have brought me as much joy as giving giving away costumes and how excited the children were. And then also another prolific update, we do have food pantries and sexy pantries at some of the neighborhoods. We, have some friends who are helping us work on grants, to try to help
us fund more of this. So more to come, from that, but just wanted to give those updates. Alright. Next step, approval of the board minutes from August 25. We get a motion to approve. I think I found my name wrong at one point, but I just wanted yeah. Which is fine. But I just could be amended just to say, commissioner Rosenblith at the end instead of Goldblith is on the last page. She's She's trying to make you and Laura. Into one person.
We basically are, so that's fine. I like, the one I compliment, you know? Oh. No. You're good. I mean, that is, like, the highest compliment. But, yeah. Just so I saw that as I was reviewing it earlier and was like, oh, who's that? Me. Oh, true. So that's perfect. The team Laura's love charm. Yeah. Literally. I I can't wait to tell her. So with that one correction, I think we got a motion. Can I get a second? Second. Thank you. You got that? All in favor? Aye. All opposed? Aye.
Javier's here, by the way. There he is. Boldly approving business. Alright. K. Moving ahead. Housing director update. Good evening to the board and everyone else that is present. Just a few things for tonight. So one correction to the safety meeting, schedule. All sites are scheduled currently for safety meetings, to include West Haven, South First Street, and Crescent Halls. We can send out the mass notice that went out to every single household, just
so you'll have those dates additionally. The only difference is we put the sites with indoor facilities at the end just in case the weather doesn't permit. But our goal is to be outside, more in in integrated into the community when we do these particular meetings. So if it's too cold when we get to West Haven, South First Street, and Crescent Halls, we will be inside, but our goal is to keep it, outdoors. Thank you. If you could send those out so we can try to be at them when
we can, that'd be great. Yes. Absolutely. I'll get it to, Maria and see if she can get those out. Appreciate it. Yes, ma'am. Alright. So next thing is, on our property management report, we were asked to highlight, the accounts receivable from evictions that have occurred. And on your report, I believe it's at 49,000. The actual number is $66,726.50.
And so that's eviction balance with accounts receivable. You said 66? Yes. $66.07 $2.06 and 50¢. K. Thank you. Those are the accounts for families that have already been evicted from the public housing program. We'll do an account write off balance write off the fee towards the end of the year, which will take those balances currently on our books, off our books. We'll still try to collect them. We now have some other means to tax means to get those funds collected and
so we should be more successful than we have in the past, but typically, we get rid of those accounts after they've sat on the books and the folks have moved out because we're less likely to collect them. Yeah. How long do we keep keep them? In the past, we've kept them on the books for years. We have been doing a write off at the end of the year since I've been here. I mean, is that well We've been more consistent with that. We don't have to get too far into it, but it what is I don't know what that's saying is, like squeezing blood from a turnip or something like that. Like, it it seems like it it would be fruitless.
Like Yeah. How successful are you getting anything back? We can't completely wipe them, because there are some some regulations with folks being able to enter the program if they owe debt to the housing authority. Gotcha. But, I do think we'll be more successful with the tax collection, because with those, the tax entity collects them and then sends us the funds, directly. Oh, so it, like, takes it out of their tax refunds so they can't Immediately. Yep. Got it. Okay. Okay. And then, additionally, in that same vein, we, were asked to highlight, just for the
month of September, with upcoming, first returns and trials, we still have an outstanding 33,884, dollars that hopefully will be collected, and we can maintain, but this is what's actually currently active in the court system. Okay. That's kind of looming for the next month or so.
As we know, we've been getting a lot of delays, a lot of continuances. Some of that is to accommodate our families maybe working with our resident services program. And so in trying to accommodate that, a lot of court dates, you know, we're we're continuing to push them out to try to accommodate that, but that's the amount that's currently, kind of just sitting there right now. I believe that that's it. We all start continuing to have, activities on the properties.
Nikki and Madison had an ice cream social couple weeks ago. South First Street will be having an ice cream social, coming up at the end of this month. Sorry. I don't have the exact date because we literally just sent out the flyer today, but I can get that out. And I think that's it for now. Are there any questions? I don't think so. Thank you. Alright. Thank you. HCD update? Hey. I'm just gonna flag the, the comment that we had about the eviction, balance. What has already been evicted the dollar amount plus what's remaining Oh.
That we currently have in court represents about 40% of what the total owed for public housing accounts represent. So it's a significant they're they're really significant accounts, that have been processed and that we are processing. Yep. For the ACV report, I'll be giving that update. We really don't have much change on here. I will, give an update on the shortfall situation, though. We met with HUD last week, maybe two weeks ago, and it was determined that
we are going to run into a shortfall for the HCV program. It's about a $125,000 this year. Last year it was like 1,800,000.0. We are in a shortfall because rents are higher this year than they were last year while we're assisting less families than we did. We're assisting less families this year than we did last year. I mean, we expected this. Yeah. Yeah. So if you look at the numbers, it it's going in the opposite direction. And it's like that across the entire country, and it will continue to be like that. Last year was just the regular HTV program.
This year is mainstream, the VASH program, which is for veterans in the HCV program. And so we are working with HUD to address that. They have not hinted towards removing anyone from the program. We've applied for additional funding, which is what we did last year and they awarded us additional funding. We have a meeting with them on the twenty fifth. I think it's the twenty fifth this week, to discuss the shortfall to talk about what measures are gonna be put in place, to help alleviate that shortfall. I will say that there are some housing authorities that owe us significant funds over
100,000, and so we'll be working to collect those. If we collect those, that will will remove us for a short from shortfall in the HCV program, the regular program, but not in VASH or mainstream. And so we'll still have some work to do there. We're limiting we're not pulling from the wait list at all. We're only assisting, through special programs. So the Fostering Youth Initiative, is one that we're continuing to lease up for, but not the other programs. We are also doing, some stop gap measures for rent increases.
We have seen some increases that have ranged from a $100 a month to $400 a month in requests for, rent increases and so we've tried to limit those as much as possible, while trying to keep the unit an an assisted unit. So it has not been easy, but, those are some of the things we're doing to try to keep that number low. We do have a, the payment standard request will be coming in front of you guys in, either at the end of next month or in November.
Right now, we are estimating that that number will actually, fall for some bedroom sizes. We do not expect any increases. We can't afford any increases. And, the utility allowance should stay relatively close to being the same, but we may have some increases there. But we'll know more direction wise on where we go with the voucher program after the meeting with HUD, on the twenty fifth. SISRAP is still strong at seventy seventy families. We have a meeting, with the city to talk about revamping that program, to make
it so it's more inclusive, of city departments to refer to that, program. Currently, there's only a few departments that are listed, that can refer, but we have, almost every department that's dealing with, homelessness referring families to that program, but we don't have it on paper. And so, you guys heard about that the first time at the, joint meeting, and so we're still working to get that, figured out. The plan is to have something back in front of city council, I believe, in
November. And so the city is going to be convening a working group to work through Sysrep over the next couple of months, to identify some small, changes that can be made such as making, like right now, we do everything on an Excel Word, Excel document. We are going to be looking to move that into ERE, which is the system we use for every other program, so we can easily generate reports, send documents to residents to fill out, plus you, process, research and everything to phone and everything.
So we'll be moving in that direction, but we'll need in I think January, we'll get approval from council and funding for it. I don't think I have anything else. No. I will add, though. We are one thing that's scarier about the shortfall is we have we've anticipated using project based vouchers. South First Street Phase Two and Sixth Street Phase 1. Us being in a shortfall could impact that. And so our goal is to get out of shortfall shortfall and stay out of it.
We will be pushing these other housing authorities to pay us because that will exit us out of shortfall. If we don't get out of shortfall, we will have to figure out some other things next year. We're gonna get out of circle. We're gonna get out of circle. But that's all I have for HCB, in case unless you guys have any questions for me. Are are you at all concerned that other housing authorities are not gonna be able to make the payments given the fact that they're probably facing some of the same struggles that you are? Yeah. So we had that question with, with our HUD rep.
So HUD now has one rep for all entire state of Virginia. Oh. So Oh, great. Good thing and a bad thing. So that one person throws all the housing authorities money. Okay. And so when we told her that housing authorities that owed us money, majority of them are in her control. Okay. And so we sent her the notices that she requested. And so she will take their money Right. Or they will give us Okay. Our money. That is what she told me. Great. So they have control to process your file applications for housing authorities, like if they
owe housing authorities. And so that's what she says she would do if they're not responsive. Okay. So that was a good thing. Yeah. Thank you. You're up again, John. Yes. Yes. I'm gonna split mine with Kathleen. Don't ask too much. I just wanna talk or want we want to get some information on the nonprofit. I know know it was discussed at the last meeting, but we need to kinda sorta get a date on when the board would like to go in front of city council, to request a nonprofit. They of course, it has to be approved by city council.
Mhmm. So I thought Michael was working I think Javier and I were working or supposed to work with Michael was gonna help us with getting a date. And that was I made that. That's possible. I make things up sometimes. You just unmute it? Yeah. Well, yeah, I would just say if for on city council's end, I think whenever you want to request, I don't think it's gonna be an issue. Okay. Alright. So So then do Javier and I need to meet with sorry. I, forgive me. I'm forgetting the attorney's name. Delphine. Yeah. Do the three of us need to meet to, like, come up with a game plan? That's I was kind of hoping to talk about it at the last, working meeting,
which we didn't end up having, but I just wanted to get clarity on exactly what the process would be. Looks like Delphi. So Delphi and I don't know if the board can hear me. Give me a minute. Yeah. Mhmm. So we're, pretty much ready from your side of it. Okay. We'd already approved the creation of the entity. So I'm happy to have a quick call so we can talk about, how to present this to city council. I don't know if you typically have a short written cover manual or summary of what is being proposed, or if you just meet with members of city council ahead
of time, or if you do a presentation at the city council meeting, or a combination of the above. But either way, we have some of the materials ready from when this first came, in front of the board of commissioners for approval. What we are missing right now to create the entity is really the blessing of city council because we need our approval under the state code in order for you to create the entity legally, and then you will need to pick a name for the entity. Okay. So then, Michael, do you have clarity on which one of those things we should
do, or does anyone else have clarity on that? So they always do a report of, like, a staff report that goes with the presentation, and then there's also typically a presentation that goes along as well. I believe it's due to Keena two weeks before it goes, like, before the meeting Mhmm. I believe, because it has to be it's a ADA compliance check that's completed and a few other things says don't own documents before they're uploaded. Okay. So then maybe, Javier, you and I can touch base on, like, a good time
to connect, with the necessary folks. Yeah. That makes sense to me. We can do that at what they say offline? Yeah. Exactly. Yes. K. Perfect. The other thing I wanted to, just put in front of the commissioners, there are going to be some changes to all our programs as the administration is implementing new policies and and, requirements. One of the changes that we've already heard is around the designation of English as
the the language as our language. And so, that is not going to allow us to use federal funds. And right now, we're trying to figure out if we can use program income funds from those federal programs to cover, the language access services that we're providing. And so there gonna be changes like that that are gonna come down, and we're gonna have to be able to adjust. We know that it's a service that we need. We have not spoken languages out on our site, because we have to be able to engage with our folks. And so we know we have to find the money to continue doing the work.
We're gonna need this nonprofit and you guys advocating advocating for those services. The city paying it, state, other organizations assisting with it, because we want years without it. And we finally got it last year, and, we've seen the the benefit of it, the amount of folks that are engaging with us at these meetings. I mean, the West, even planners meeting. We have a really good representation of our community at those meetings, in that language
access piece. Without that, it that meeting looks totally different. And so it's important that we rally around those items, because this is just one. There are going to be many changes that have come down the pipeline, that we're going to have to to fight for. Another announcement that I have. We speaking to federal government. Good things and bad things. So this is a high. We did get an announcement on Friday about receiving the emergency safety grant, emergency safety
and security grant. And so we had put in for that grant to install fences around backyards, play areas, cameras, and lights at Mickey Madison in Riverside. It was not enough money to get all those things done, and so we're I think the primary focus will be on lighting and fences, at those communities. The cameras alone would eat up that entire allocation. They awarded us about $250,000. And I wanted to save some time to talk about, our referrals.
I know, a couple of meetings ago I told you that our eviction diversion program were solely starting to rev those up. And that I told you the referrals, you should see they will drastically increase. They should triple or quadruple. And so Kathleen is gonna give you an update on where we are with the eviction diversion, just on referrals and what we're seeing there. Kathleen is our deputy executive director. Hello, everyone. Hey, Kathleen. I'm not gonna go on for too long, but I just wanted to have a simple graphic, just to talk about kind of the impact, the program has also had
on staff. Since we started the program, we've had a 128 referrals from property management to the resident services team. I broke out the properties and the number of referrals we've gotten from each property. In, yellow there is Crescent Halls that's had 25 referrals. We also West Haven, has had the most, 59 referrals. So that's one resident service staff person who's been greatly impacted by this. And then the others in blue are, one other staff person, who's, also got a
significant number. We've had some that have also gone over to our self sufficiency programs, and I've listed those here, with Ross having the highest number. It's been, a really, rewarding program in many ways as we've had staff that have managed to, be able to intervene with some individuals, before they actually were evicted. But it's also been, a tremendous, capacity stream. So we're, you know, it we know there is probably, let me see, at least
what would you say? 20 more people that, could easily get added to this? For which? Just the total. Oh, no. We're we're off by, I would say easily so the way the easiest way to tell how far off we are is the number of non payment notice sent. So just nonpayment notices sent for the month of September, we were at a 138.
And do those have to be like, can you the each one has to be, like, individually created. Right? It's you can't just, like, bulk something? We're creating each one individually. Okay. And so West Haven alone had 62 Crestalls, 38 in South Virginia, 17. And so that's only looking at the nonpayment. You're not talking of folks who maybe missed their recertification, that maybe had a physical dispute or verbal dispute on the site, or folks who have, how poor housekeeping.
So there's a plethora of reasons to be referred, that aren't due to nonpayment of rent, but just nonpayment of rent alone is a 138. So there there's some space, and we're including in that list Greenleaf, Dogwood, and, I think that's it. That's not shown on that list right there. Yeah. I just showed that seven. Yeah. We're all showing the assisted units. So, we're we're spending a lot of time looking at this. We're also trying to be supportive of staff as they're working through this process.
We we found that, you know, we have some individuals with pretty high balances, and a lot of agencies now are not willing to, pay if it's over a thousand dollars. So there's been a lot of creativity that's come into play. Mister Sales and I met with The Haven, to have a conversation about increasing partnerships, grant collaborations. I think we're gonna continue looking for other partners, to do this book as well. You know, there's a lot of different reasons, as we've said at previous meetings, why
individuals get behind on rent. And we're also seeing, you know, a lot of changes coming federally that are gonna further impact families. One of the programs we're gonna be introducing is, gonna be having, working with, food sharing is caring, sites several times a month. We're also looking at, trying to get some of our staff trained in, basic budgeting. So, train the trainer opportunities. And in addition, we are, looking at trying to get some of our staff in
on some of the, Medicaid navigator training because we understand that Robert, can you mute, please? Thank you. Okay. And then we're also, you know, we're just trying to, be mindful of all this as we're looking at, you know, establishing a nonprofit Mhmm. To have conversations with our partners about what it would look like to have, you know, programs that could involve, agreements to have budgeting classes and other things in place,
in exchange for accessing some of the repayment funds, particularly for individuals who have already had assistance. We often see the same individuals, come back within just a few months, and we know, you know, there's an ongoing struggle that also needs to be tackled. Alright. If anyone has any questions. In terms of the, staff who are who, like, kind of being over or disproportionately taxed, through this, is there any way to, like, share the load in a way that feels, like, not an invasion of privacy to residents?
Or, like, I understand that that's probably very complicated dynamic, but just, like, what is the attempts what are the potential solutions that you are navigating? Well, some of the residents when they're contacted, have not been willing to, work with our staff. Okay. So there is a lot of just following up and trying to call. We're also working, I work really closely with miss Banks or, with property management, and we're always talking about, you know, better ways for our staff to collaborate because just
having systems in place and understanding how this process will work. We we do know that, you know, process is so important because we all need to know what's gonna happen the moment they are late, that the property manager is gonna reach out. There is gonna be a letter. And we're also looking looking at developing flyers or friendly forms that could go at that time saying that they are gonna reach out to resident services. We're also trying to think about ways to have, things in place that if you,
are not able to read, how that might look for an individual who is behind on their rent. We have been, you know, pretty consistent with getting things treated as well. But we have three resident source coordinators. They, you know, they all have had, you know, significant referral amounts. The person at Crescent Hills is part time. They're all working very closely with property management. They, you know, our whole team with, Jobs Plus, FSS, and Ross, you know, there's
also been some referrals there. I will say, Ross has helped pick up quite a few, challenging situations that involved, housekeeping, and they've come up with some really, great systems for that. But, housekeeping is a smaller percent of this number. The majority are, tenant account receivables. Thank you. Alright. Perfect. Thank you, Kathleen. Thanks, Kathleen. And one other thing I just wanted to remind you guys or just put it in front of you, that'll be coming up as a annual plan.
So Kathleen has started working and pulling that together. Had a meeting today with the RAB, and so I think we're, positioning for a November, work session, a joint work session with the board to go over the annual plan. And so at that point, we'll do the annual plan, and hopefully, we will be in a place to do the capital fund, the five year plan for capital fund around the same time. Capital fund this year will look drastically different because we have so many of our big projects tied up into money that we've already received.
So the last year will really be a a a good year, I guess. We'll get to play around and figure out what residents really want. I know in the past they've said awnings and, some maybe a porch or something. So, we'll be able to do something something different than just focus on, the things that are that are falling apart. I think that is all I have for you. Are we gonna need an additional session or, like, a retreat for that? We always call it a retreat, which brings to my spa, but you've never taken
me to a spa. So No. I don't think we need a retreat for it this year. This year is really it should be really simple Okay. Because we're rolling the last few years. And we did not do a new five year plan this year. Okay. This year is the second year of our old five year plan. So in a couple of years, we'll be deep into a new five year plan and a new, a new strategic plan and everything. Yeah. God. So close. I don't wanna take money. But I think that's all I have for you tonight, unless you guys have any
questions for me. Thanks, Sam. Okay. I will open it up for additional public comment. No singing tonight, Brandon? No workdays. Right? Alright. If nobody has anything, I think that concludes our agenda for this evening. Making a motion to adjourn. Motion. A second? Second. Alright. All in favor? Aye. All opposed? Aye. Worth it every time. I don't do it every time. No. It was amazing. But it was I mean, her name was, like, digitally on the phone. Was like That's amazing. In in DC? In Virginia. In Richmond. So she was, she was for Belle.
What's that? It's Michelle. Okay. Okay. No. It's been a special. Yeah. Should be a non profit attorney. I Good night. Good night. Nice to see you. Thank you.
