an impossible situation for us to implement and the order has been so vague, it's been very difficult for us to figure out where to hit the mark. the federal judges questioned the attorneys for the coalition on homelessness. in your brief, you repeatedly say individuals who have practical, which i understand you're now saying is like readily available and voluntary access to shelter. >> so are you now no longer requiring that voluntary condition on so individuals are not compelled to use shelter? >> right. but certainly if they do have access to shelter and they decide not to use it, that doesn't make them involuntarily homeless. >> the city attorney viewed this as a breakthrough. it was a major concession, frankly, surprised us. and according to the latest city data, shelters are basically at capacity here in san francisco, 92% full. now, regarding what's next, a decision from these federal judges can come any time in the upcoming months. and the implications will impact nine
