So can you explain a little bit what is offered in that toolkit and what are the means that institutions or others can take to help address the situation for those who are experiencing homelessness while being a student?
17:13
Yeah, I'll keep it brief because the toolkits are very exhaustive, but we do have a big report if somebody wants to read all the nitty gritty details.
17:20
But basically there's like four prongs of the toolkit.
17:23
The first prong I think was pretty obvious is identify your problem.
17:27
If post-secondary institutions, and again, like I said, experiences are very similar, but the size, the amount of students that maybe are struggling, the amount of resources you need at one campus versus another campus in the country varies.
17:38
could be different.
17:39
And so you need to figure out how big your problem is, how many students are actually struggling, and what resources are the biggest priority.

Speak a little bit to research that becomes very much problem solving and that has that real impact.
