Mention, Substance Abuse, beds that are available for the clients that are coming out of custody. So that we can keep them from recidivism. We can keep them from failing to. We have to make sure the major chordates. We do boston we go to their cameras. We know their street names and so forth to get these guys back to court. However, these clients are homeless. The majority of them are homeless. We also need beds available for these clients and we take them out of custody to my there are few shelter beds.
