home to a qualified buyer recently? I thought the answer was no. Now, I don't know that that's 100% I don't know how far back that went, but it is not. Is there an occurrence you're aware of of habitat failing to purchase a home? I am not aware of it, but my tenure is shorter than. Than. Okay. Thanks. Thank you. All right. Madam Secretary, if you please, for the next item on our screens and councilmember said bark, if you want to go ahead with your questions on 95. Thank you. Is there anybody here who can answer questions about the VOA contract? Hi, John Looper with Department of Housing Stability. Thank you. So my question, this is specifically for people with medical conditions that prohibit them from staying in conventional shelters. That's correct. Can we can you tell me a little bit about what kind of medical conditions make them eligible? Because we've actually had people turned away from this particular type of shelter. And I'm wondering what qualifies? How do we how do we find those people? And is there a backlog? So almost 100% of the people being referred into this program are coming directly from Denver Health. And it's the doctors at Denver Health that are making that determination and then referring them into this program. Typically, it's somebody that's maybe coming out of surgery who wouldn't who's being discharged from the hospital but wouldn't be able to stay in an overnight shelter where they're being asked to leave during the day. So this gives them a bed that they can recuperate and over a period of time. Is this connected to Denver Health's effort to keep people in an extended stay? No, I don't believe it is. So only people referred by Denver Health are pulled into this one? Yes. There's one bed that's reserved from Porter Hospital that they actually pay for that bed. But all the other beds are through Denver Health. And how many do you have? So there's ten rooms and 21 beds. And does this add any net impact net beds or is it maintaining the current?
