And now, illness and income loss and inability to pay rent due to the virus. Thousands of seniors, people with disabilities, other low income folks, and families of color are most vulnerable to the homes. I urge expanded support for the Legal Council programs and these are life lines to keep us in our homes. We rely greatly on the temporary rental assistance programs and also the permanent rent sub subsidiaries and we need them to be expanded especially now. So, less money for the police and more money for 100 affordable housing, no more market rates luxury housing and it contains just a trickle of affordable. Thank you. Thank you for your comments.
