Mayor's Fund to End Homelessness and authorize Health and Human Services Department to receive and expend funds from the Long Beach Community Foundation citywide. Thank you. I'll just briefly I'll just just maybe I can get you a brief report in a in a nutshell, I think there's been for decades a mayor's fund for the homelessness. It's existed has not been active and probably it's been active, but it hasn't been proactive, I guess, in the last ten, 15 years or so. It collects maybe at any given year between 25000 to $30000 a year through the utility giving program. That's that's there. As part of the long term efforts around homelessness, there's a strong interest to activate the fund. And there has been the staff's recommendation, which I support, is to move the fund to the community foundation. They're willing to fundraise, manage the fund, and then maximize their work around homelessness to support that fund. And so I know it's something that that board strongly supports, and they believe they can significantly raise dollars as well as putting in their own matching dollars to work with the city on managing the fund instead of it being operated out of the health department. And so, Kelly Cartwright, did I miss anything on that? No, I think you've got it. Okay. There any public comment on that? Okay. Richardson, you have any comments on that? Nope. Country Ranga? No. Please cast your votes. Motion carries. Okay. We're moving on to public comment.
