Permanent occupancy. So that is something we would appreciate further discussion on. It is something that we dont currently do, and it lives outside of our scope of work. Thank you. 819 lombard is actually a perfect example. Part of what sparked that project and part of the benefit was the additional of three adus. So while on the one hand were trying to incentavise the building of new somewhat affordable housing, we are ending up actually losing existing affordable housing. And so part of what i think the community and the supervisor is trying to do is to create some impediments, where bad actors are disincentive vised. Disincent vised. And a some point that tenant is going to be able to come back, there is a financial disincentive for them to keep that unit open as we have taken care of that family for six months or a year or year and a half.

Told, and i know you have a new p. I. O. In the budget, and a. C. That we approved that. I really do think that those stories need to be told and we need to know how those and i know there is privacy and theres a lot of issues, but we need to know what is actually working and i never said that judging this judging these by x number of homeless as a way to measure of success, that is not what owes getting at. But when you said our successes are invisible, i think we need to find a way to make them visible and then tell us what is actually helping people in terms of these contacts that are being made.

I will say to your point that we cant really judge h. Ot cant really judge h. O. T. On their own and w
