So it's a crowd granting program that they in the the Indiana Housing Community Development Authority facilitates in partnership with um with patronus patronicity thank you so much um and then that's right and then uh arp indiana we just kind of have an add-on supplemental funding to this so the the crowd granting program really works dollar for dollar up to fifty thousand dollars a community can raise money for a project and um and ihcda will through patronicity will match that So if a community raises $20,000 to improve a pocket park, IHCDA provides an additional $20,000.

And the AARP Indiana aspect of it, the Creating Livable Communities program that we support with our dollars, If that pocket park, for instance, enhances living or aging in place, has specific older adults and aspects in mind, incorporates those aspects, they can receive an additional $5,000.

So we sponsor the program and add that little cherry on top of the $5,000.

top of that and kind of thinking about using those funds and how that project is going, Addison, can you give us a little rundown about maybe what other projects have looked like that we've done in the past?
