A person who is in our Supportive Housing and who has been stabilized. Can we use sort this opportunity to find an exit for them. We dont know. We dont have the answers, but we are asking the questions and thinking about this. Not in just terms of transfers you talked about. But can we do this in the rules and regulations of fair housing.
