People were skeptical about a supportive housing program in their neighborhood and we've really changed the viewpoint. When we had our grand opening back in 2019, we had a city councilman at the time came over and he admitted he was a skeptic. He wasn't sure he was supportive of a project like this, and once he saw what we were doing, the beautiful place to live that we're able to provide and the voices of the folks living there, he came out and said you know, this is the model of supportive housing for New York State. I want every project to look like this and to operate like this, so it was a magical moment.
