What the recording says
dwelling units because those came up in the interviews. But we do want to talk about we always want to ground these conversations and the data we do have. And I will say that um homelessness data is really hard to use if you're not a homeless service provider. It's it's complicated data, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just usually means that it's not been disseminated in a way that other people can understand it. Having said that, in uh 2025 point in time counts, you've got

is something our team came up with based on best practices and work we've done other places. You could say, "We love two of these, we hate the rest, but we just want to give you something to react to."
