she started working with the bridge housing, she continued it with the mary helen rogers development and now she gets to do it with our own development. i'll let her talk about her outreach efforts. >> thank you. well, the issue that i have, and i will do my best to find as many certificate holders i have. issue i have is the same issue you have, prioritizing the neighborhood. we have other ideas that we would like to add to this that are not part of them now, and one is to use the entire cni neighborhood, but that hasn't been act senned /kwraoet. accepted yet, but i'm not giving up. those are not things we can put into this particular at this particular time, but i think it's something it should be explored and addressed and we are going to do as aggressive outreach as we can, but as you know the numbers of african americans when you open senior housing, they just don't meet it in the lottery and if you're trying to prioritize is neighborhood it makes it very difficult. i've tried every angle i can and do everything i can to try to get people in. the other thing i'll say about prefe
