it addresses some of the issues that shireen just spoke about with the lgbtq community. and they have two major programs, friendly visitor program, working with community volunteers to visit isolated seniors with the goal of visiting the isolated seniors at least once a week and safe and visible design for healthcare workers to make the community more comfortable and speaking appropriately with lgbtq seniors. this program and their training is posted on their website and available to anyone. we also had a very thorough presentation on census 2020. it is well-funded by the legislature as commissioner pappas knows. i want to say april 1 is camp day, so you'll be hearing more about that. complete count is very important. the other issue that is -- there's a lot of concern, i think, around two things, one is citizenship questions, and there are none. there are nine questions which are already available online. and there's a lot of worry about cyber security and hacking, and the census bureau is taking that seriously and is working diligently to make sure the data is secure.
