From the transcript
I guess my question for you is, how are you as an administration prioritizing prevention over tertiary? The homeless work is not prevention, it's tertiary. And the work that ASD and what we're doing actually hopefully will lessen the individuals that will find themselves in mental health distress, physical distress that then leads to homelessness and other issues. And how are you weighing that so we can actually incorporate that as well? And I think that's the important piece is we want to be aligned, but asking us just that question doesn't provide us the full picture, and that would be very helpful.
