Toppling down across northern parts of scotland and to the north of Northern Ireland. Otherwise sunshine for scotland, Northern Ireland, and skies brightening from many parts of england and wales. Still a bit damp, many parts of england and wales. Stilla bit damp, dreary many parts of england and wales. Still a bit damp, dreary and chilly for east anglia and the south east of england. Through this evening and overnight we should eventually see the back of that damp cloudy weather in the south east and most places will be dry, with strong winds and more cloud fishing in scotland, Northern Ireland, bit of rain in the north keeping up the temperatures but further south in england and wales a chillier night with clear skies developing here and there. Where we get long breaks in the cloud, it could turn into a bit of a misty and foggy morning, particularly more into the west country, i suspect, that fog eventually lifting, then sunshine arriving across a good part of england and wales.

Former clients of us. I come today to show my appreciation to your support to save the beds at the arf and save our clients from being moved away from their homes for many years. Thank you, supervisor ronen and mandelman for coming to see what a Great Program we have at the arf and the buildings in general. Thank you for taking time to listen to their stories as well as how the program works. I look forward to work to improve the working environment. I am eager to cooperate with management and staff and residents to form a safe and healthy working place as provide the best care for our residents. Thank you for your support. I am amy wong. I am a Mental Health specialist and member of ifpte local 21. I have worked at the Health Center for 20 years. 18 of our clients were suddenly given eviction notices.

Of the Civil Service roles as you do with the normal the ones that take 253 days. When you do that, that one youve got to get the approvals, post it, then theres an appeal period, then you have an exam, then theres an appeal period and all of that with the exam. You can speed all of that up. To do that we would have to get approval of the d. H. R. And the union. I think they would understand.

Sb1045 and sb40 provide a tool to help those who cant care for themselves get on a pathway to health and a pathway to housing. Thank you. [ applause ]. Thank you.
