And then if you notice that yellow box, facility and renovations will be open in the spring. CMS has a cap on that type of funding, and we wanna ensure that it's fair and equitable for all organizations as they're applying for that funding. And so that will be open in the spring. What you will also notice if you look at the lower part of that slide is that we are still going to have an open call for those 6 initiatives. If you have an idea that was deferred, you are in a good position because you have learned from those other organizations.
