Questions. I can accept and it makes sense to me for the person who is seeking treatment, a homeless person, outreach worker says do you want to go to treatment and they say, yes, there is a relatively short wait. It sounds like that could be several days and supervisor stefani, that is not exactly treatment on demand. There might be work to do there. I am more troubled by the access to treatment for the justice involved population which we had a hearing on several months ago.

It is true, i didnt focus specifically on justice involvement in this presentation. We could find out. There are experts that would know better than i. Supervisor mandelman we have that hearing. We will have a lot of conversations about the jail. It does send assessors to the jail. It is difficult even though they are in jail it doesnt mean be they are easy to find or sit down with. A lot of things get in the way of the
Introduce and moderate second panel. Let me begin by introducing myself briefly. My name is bill galston. Am a senior fellow here at brookings and delighted to be a small cog in the institution. People,o introduce two bell, for working tirelessly to bring about, and also, our president , john allen, for letting his vast experience and moral authority to our enterprise this morning, and i think it is a sign that brookings is spiritually aligned with the National Service movement. Introduce the question this way. Service is the answer, what is the question . And we have heard, and i think we will hear three different kinds of answers to that question, and it is useful to keep them separate. The first have to do with service as an avenue of personal growth, the expansion, the deepening of character. Actualond has to do with good done for others, service and the roof cents. Sense.
