I'm just wondering if you give us a status of Ramsey County and what we see there as it relates to maybe finally, hopefully, declaring that, yeah, they have effectively ended veteran homelessness.
26:40
Yeah, unfortunately, we were the victim of timing.
26:43
So since about 2011, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness set up the criteria for community or state to declare functional zero for veterans homeless.
26:57
and that's been in process for many years, and nine of our ten Continuums of Care of Minnesota have received that federal declaration.
27:05
Last February, after the change in administration usage, their roles were restricted and they were no longer able to do that.
27:15
We asked the federal VA to take over the role.
27:19
They still are stating that it's one of their major goals is to end veterans' homelessness as well.
28:59
and I'm just wondering if you can talk a little bit about those efforts and, you know, really what are some of the results you're now seeing as you've incorporated some of these things like a veterans community health program and the navigators and that kind of thing.
